Prior to starting a career as a REALTOR in 2001, Jim was strategically buying, improving, and selling residential properties in New York, New Mexico, Texas, and New Orleans.
Jim began his career in Santa Fe, NM at Sotheby’s where he advised buyers and sellers on a wide variety of properties from historic and contemporary adobe-style homes to vacant land and condos. Jim with his partner, Scott, was recognized by the Santa Fe Historic Design Review Board with awards of excellence and even featured in House Beautiful Magazine for a historic kitchen remodel.
After falling in love with Kauai on their first trip, Jim and Scott relocated to Garden Island as a series of serendipitous events helped speed up the process landing them in paradise sooner than expected in 2014. Jim has since become a practitioner of hula which has impacted his life in the most positive way.
Jim is part of the AK Kauai team and works out of the Poi'pu office.
