Early Life
Raised on the beautiful islands of Hawaii, I carry the Aloha spirit—a Hawaiian word embodying love, affection, peace, compassion, and mercy—with me wherever I go, infusing it into every aspect of my life, including my passion for real estate.
In my twenties, I traded the gentle caress of the ocean waves and the lush tropical breezes of Hawaii for the crisp mountain air of Colorado and Utah. There, I reunited with my high school sweetheart and future husband, who was serving in the USAF. While we adored the scenic beauty of the Rockies, we longed for a climate more reminiscent of our Hawaiian roots. Our search led us to the vibrant city of Jacksonville, FL—a perfect blend of warm weather, refreshing ocean breezes, and diverse culture that we now call home.
Moving to Jacksonville, FL
Jacksonville, with its dynamic weather, beautiful beaches, and rich cultural tapestry, has something for everyone. As avid fans of the Jacksonville Jaguars and supporters of our local military community, including Mayport and Naval Air Station Jacksonville, we couldn’t have picked a better place to plant our roots.
