About Winston
In 1978, Winston’s parents sold everything and moved the family to the small town of Hanalei, Kauai. Prior to that they had lived in 10 different places including North America, Japan and Germany. His education was at the small private Island School on Kauai, followed by University of Hawaii and St. Mary’s College of California, where he studied English literature. In his 20’s and into early 30’s Winston worked as a boat captain and firefighter / paramedic.
Then he discovered his love for design and creative.
In 2002 Winston and partner Justin Britt started Wasabi Marketing Elements, a small firm that received accolades for performance oriented design and web marketing. In 2004 Winston and Justin dreamt up Hawaii Life Real Estate Brokers, then partnered with Matt Beall, the current Principal Broker of the firm. Hawaii Life quickly became one of the most successful and innovative real estate brokerages in Hawaii, and beyond.
Winston’s current role as creative director spans print and web, architectural design, brand direction, copywriting, business management, events, and agent services. Personal interests include kiteboarding, photography, hiking, fishing, surfing, snowboarding, paddling and of course, family.
