hen you stop moving,
you have time to think.
Nearly a decade ago that
was Rohn Boyd, then a
non-stop builder of big,
luxurious homes on Kauai, recovering
from cancer treatment. He would have
to spend more than a month in bed, and
it got him pondering things. • e result
would be a career shift that, years later, he
continues to be happy he made. "I had to
sit still for seven weeks," Rohn describes,
"and it gave me time to think about my
life." Construction, he realized, no longer
lit his - re as it once had.
For years he had been building some of
the most lavish homes and estates on
what's known as Hawaii's Garden Island,
Kauai, often selling them to people he
knew on the mainland. Rohn was born
and raised in the Beach Cities—gradu-
ating from Mira Costa High School in
Manhattan Beach, like his mother did
before him, and would later move to
Kauai in 1999 in search of better surf—
and he had kept a tight link with his
hometown.
As part of his home building business
Rohn held a real estate broker's license
for years, always noting how much he
enjoyed this part of his job—connecting
people with their own private corner of
paradise. "You can see the excitement in
their eyes and in their hearts when they
walk onto a property and they light up,"
he says. "• at's the big win for me."
He switched gears to real estate full time,
notifying his construction clients, who
tended to be luxury buyers, often high
pro- le and involved in business, enter-
tainment and sports back in LA and the
Beach Cities. "Once you establish that
type of clientele," the agent points out, "it
feeds on itself." Referrals, and friends-of-
friends - lled out Rohn's client list, drawn
to his intricate knowledge of the island,
