People always ask me why I live in Hawaii, and I can’t tell you all the reasons why.  There are just too many reasons. I can, however, show you some of the reasons I live here and what there is too look forward to on a daily basis.

Another day at the office!  Even though I am playing hard, I am always working just as hard for my clients, finding them the right property.  Why work in a white-walled office with no windows everyday?  The Coconut Wireless hard at work?  You can write your own caption, like: Idiot in business clothes sitting in a tide pool on his cellphone.  On the serious side,  this is my spin on the relaxed lifestyle and relaxed business environment of Hawaii.  No stuffy suits.  Only here can you work hard and play hard all year around.

Can you beat this!  17th hole par 3.  Ocean in the background with Maui in the distance.  Not a bad day.  Actually my first ever birdie.  (I decided I needed lessons after this day).  I had to pull a Tin Cup and put my cellphone and keys in my right side pocket to try and correct my swing.  I hit a couple of houses that day.  FORE!!!

North Shore surfing.  “Yes…Yes….  I am sorry I missed your showing appointment earlier, I had a last minute Board Meeting.”  Small but fun day none the less.   Hopefully I can get some South Shore photos soon.  It has been good lately.

Pro Bowl.  Need I really say more.  This was actually the game when I caught up with fellow App State Alum and Pro Bowl Player, Dexter Coakley. I used to lift weights next to him every morning at App when I played soccer there. (Embarrassing when I weighed 150 lbs.) I will never forget when Payton Manning was asked to respond to the fact that his kicker said he can’t ever win the big game.  His response was “I will deal with that when I get back to America.”  OK?

Here is the view from my lanai.  Want a reason to live in Hawaii.  This view every late afternoon is it.  After 8 years, I still love this view and never take it for granted.
