Born and raised in Hawaii, David acquired a great passion for ocean sports. After graduating from Mid-Pacific Institute and lettering in canoe paddling and volleyball, he ventured to the University of Colorado, a drastically different venue. There he quickly became a diehard Buffs fan and enjoyed the sport of snowboarding. During his junior year in college, he had the opportunity to study abroad in Australia, and experience a completely different culture. Admittedly, he had the travel bug.
After graduating from the University of Colorado, David moved to Los Angeles, California and began a career in sales and marketing with an entrepreneurial company specializing in the development and marketing of sports equipment. Shortly after that, he was recruited by a marketing company located in Chicago, Illinois. There, he developed and coordinated marketing programs for companies such as LEGO, Verizon and Playstation. This fabulous opportunity led him to New York City where he began his career selling advertising with YELP.
Living in these incredible cities was an amazing experience. However, David longed to return to the islands. It seemed a natural transition to apply the sales and marketing skills he had acquired to the real estate industry, so he joined a local brokerage in 2015.
David is passionate about real estate, as there is nothing more rewarding than assisting someone in finding their home. Life is about balance, and he is thrilled to be living, working and playing in one of the most amazing locations in the world.
