Aloha and welcome to my life on Maui!

What can I say, living on Maui is incredible. Maui has been my home for over 39 years. I arrive on Maui, at the age of nineteen with a surfboard and a hundred bucks in my pocket.

My wife Ivy, artist, and the joy of my life.

My family means everything to me. With my wife, together we have built five homes together over the years on Maui, and raised four grown healthy children, and we have two granddaughters.   Staying focused and working hard has always been a priority with me.  My experience encircles land development, working with subdivisions, project sales in Spreckelsville, Wailea Beach Villas, Papali Wailea and Ho'olei  Wailea.  I have extensive knowledge in the building industry.  Prior to real estate on Maui, I was a licensed contractor for 16 years, and owned and operated Nickens Interiors.  It was a retail, and contracting firm well known on the island.

Outside of work, I am still an avid surfer, wind surfer, stand up board paddler. I also competed in Maui and Oahu surf contest for 10 years with my kids while they were growing up. I was top ranked in Maui at the time. To relax I enjoy playing my guitar, or working in my organic garden.  I love to cook, using fresh herbs and vegetables from the garden.  I have a fruit orchard made up of oranges, avo's, papayas, bananas, mangos among other fruit trees. I believe in working hard, living healthy and playing hard. We are truly blessed living on Maui. We have been very active in our church over the years, attending Hope Chapel in Kihei. I am also involed in Moi Maui, a men's group that works in the community and around the globe.

I love windsurfing in my spare time. On the way home from work I usually stop by Kanaha Beach by the airport and get in an hour and half session.
