As the broker-owner of Ohana Mortgage Solutions, I’m dedicated to guiding Hawaii’s veteran and military families in achieving homeownership and maximizing their VA benefits. Locally owned and operated in Kapolei on Oahu’s west side, Ohana Mortgage Solutions combines extensive local knowledge with a deep commitment to serving our military community.

I’ve been married to my wife for 18 years, and together we’re raising four amazing kids. I understand firsthand how vital homeownership is for a family’s sense of stability and for building generational wealth and security.

Beyond work, I’m a dad who enjoys watching football on the weekends, a good beer with friends, and family game night (where I’m secretly super competitive, but I try to hide it).

Most of all, I’m looking forward to meeting you and helping you on your journey to homeownership here in Hawaii. Aloha!

VVA4s are the professionals have earned this rank with time in service as well as exceeding minimum performance standards of VVA3. They have served a minimum of six months as a VVA3, met all performance metrics, and continued to submit their accountability tracking on time regularly. They will answer every question perfectly in accordance with the VA Lender Handbook guidelines, VA resources and, not just one lender's overlays. During these 6 months we are testing their hearts and minds. They will be the embodiment of our institutional core values of honor, courage, and commitment. We want to see the best showing up in VVA4; we want to see how they engage you, respond to your direct questions, and respond to questions that could benefit them but they will never take an individual position to gain through solicitation. We aim to achieve the change we want to find for you and protect you as a Veteran and Active Service Member. Changing the hearts and minds of those helping you is the only authentic way to make a difference. No regulation or rules will help because people are still the same in trying to find easy ways around rules. VVA4 are there to serve you because you serve our Country.

At VVA4 the professional will be eligible to serve as a Squad Leader. This challenge is to begin training peer to peer leadership in a unique way. These peers are not employees, they are not subordinates, they are unique peers that choose to follow and whose leadership must be earned. The minimum time spent in VVA4 will be approximately 1 year.
