Hank was born in the Pacific ocean on the island of Oahu, Hawaii.  He was raised in hotels and graduated from Florida International University with a Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management, following in his father's footsteps in hotel management for over 20 years and at 7 hotels as general manager.  In 2004 Hank left the hotel business to pursue a career as a real estate broker with Coldwell Banker, HPW.  Over the next 20 years Hank has worked with hundreds of buyers and sellers in the Raleigh/Triangle areas.

Hank and his wife, Susan, had lived in 8 different states in their first 10 years of marriage, so he is well seasoned in relocation.  When they moved to the Raleigh area (Knightdale) in 1997 they had lived in enough places to know that it doesn't get any better than this, so they made NC their home where they raised their son, Andrew.  Hank & Susan have now lived in Wake Forest since 2008.  When he's not working with clients Hank enjoys traveling with Susan, golf, working out, reading, the beach, cooking, and walking his black lab, Duke.
