Meet the Business Owner

Business Owner

How did you start?

I started SERVPRO of East Honolulu in 1990. I previously worked for a large corporation and became intrigued with the entire concept of a franchise. One day I saw an advertising of a job fair coming up at the Blaisdell Center, and this is where I first heard of SERVPRO brand. The company’s corporate representative encouraged me to start the first franchise in Oahu.

What is it like to run a SERVPRO franchise?

The corporation wants up to follow the latest technology trends. Let’s look at the DryBook mobile system, for example. It took us some time to master it, but now it is making our operations much easier and more efficient. We don’t have to carry any paperwork. We get the customer’s signatures electronically, do the sketch, take all the photos, upload the humidity and temperature readings– everything is done on the iPad and on the run.

What is your life’s motto?

Find what you are good at and do it!
