I started working at Waikiki Banyan in August of 1988 with my friend and former GM Brian Molmen. I will retire at the end of this year.

There have been many changes over the years and it’s been gratifying to see the ways in which Waikiki Banyan and its operation have improved.

While there have inevitably been challenges, I have enjoyed working with many different Boards, Directors and owners; differences of opinion are easily resolved when everyone shares the goal of doing what is best for our building and residents. Thank you all for your trust and support over the years.

Finally, mahalo nui loa to our staff, the exceptional group of people that is the Waikiki Banyan ‘ohana. Your efforts have made my job easier and the Banyan a home for all who live and work here.
