TALKING WITH TALENT

Tell us a little more about you: I was born in the Fiji Islands and my parents moved to California when I was four years old. I’m a 28-year industry veteran and started my career in the mailroom. I’m married to my beautiful wife, Jenny, and we have five kids ranging from 20-years-old to 3-months- old. I am also on the Board of Directors for the Washington State Special Olympics due to my passion for sports, kids and mentoring. Notable industry achievement: Reaching the point in my career where I am considered an expert whose advice is sought after. What’s something you’re most proud of? Professionally, raising $500M through three equity rounds to launch a start-up. Personally, my kids – they are my legacy! Is there a quote you live your life by? “Whatever you do, always try your best to leave everything a little better than you found it!”

What would most people be surprised to learn about you? Most people know me for my love of sports and classic cars. However, what they don’t know, is that I spend my weekends riding around on a Kubota 3350 (see photo below). Why do you enjoy working at Cushman & Wakefield and in the commercial real estate industry? The People! I tell others that I love my role because I get to work with some of the best people I know in the industry.
