Thirty years of hands-on leadership delivering seamless operations, disciplined project management, and owner-level stewardship for exceptional private properties — so principals never have to wonder if their homes are in capable hands.
I provide professional estate management and complex property operations services to private principals, family offices, and commercial facility owners who demand the highest standard of care. Through ArgoPro LLC, I bring owner-level accountability to every property in my care — whether a historic private residence, a luxury multi-unit estate, or a commercial facility requiring systematic maintenance and vendor oversight.
My background spans private luxury estates in Hawaii and Arizona, commercial and residential construction across the East Coast, and the operational discipline of U.S. Coast Guard command — where I was responsible for vessels carrying up to 350 passengers and where the standard was never "good enough." That same standard applies to every property I manage.
I work best with principals and organizations that want one trusted professional to own the operation — someone who communicates clearly, anticipates problems before they arise, and protects the asset with the same care as the owner would.
From daily household operations to complex multi-year construction projects, I provide the full range of estate management services that exceptional properties require.
Full-service day-to-day management of luxury private residences — keeping homes immaculate, guest-ready, and operating at the principal's standard without requiring their attention.
Systematic preventive maintenance programs and ongoing facility management for commercial properties, hospitality assets, and private multi-unit estates — protecting infrastructure and extending asset life.
End-to-end project management for capital improvements, renovations, and new construction — from scoping and bidding through contractor leadership, quality control, and delivery.
Stabilization and value recovery for distressed or underperforming properties — from physical remediation through regulatory resolution, renovation, and return to full operational status or sale.
Recruiting, onboarding, managing, and holding accountable the teams that keep a property running — from household staff to specialized trade contractors to professional consultants.
Modern, technology-assisted operations management — custom workflows, digital documentation, and AI-assisted analysis that give principals and family offices full visibility and accountability.

Directed a 27-month recovery and repositioning of a severely distressed two-acre luxury estate. Coordinated 9 contractors alongside legal, architectural, surveying, and real estate professionals. Resolved health, safety, pest, and occupancy challenges; removed 40 dumpsters of debris; secured CPR approval creating independently marketable residential interests; renovated units into vacation rentals; sourced a buyer and supported the sale through closing.
Co-own and direct full operations for a 90-acre, 31-unit historic guest ranch with 1930s–1940s stone and adobe structures, pools, roads, utilities, and complex aging infrastructure. Managing a ~$1M annual budget, 8–13 contractors and hospitality staff, and 12–20 events per year. Restored 14 units to service, secured formal zoning approval, coordinated ALTA survey, and advanced multi-parcel land planning with Pima County.
Repositioned an uninhabitable 890-square-foot luxury Waikiki condominium through a seven-month gut renovation. Coordinated all trades, materials, scheduling, and finish quality from initial assessment through completion. Personally listed and leased the residence, achieving stabilized occupancy at market-premium rent within one month of completion.
Project-managed and supervised construction at a $10 million private estate in East Hampton. Also served as lead carpenter for the ground-up construction of a 19,000-square-foot private residence — coordinating client requirements, materials, schedules, site execution, and finish quality across a complex, deadline-driven luxury build in the Hamptons market.
The best estate management is invisible. Principals should walk into a home that is immaculate, fully prepared, and operating exactly as they expect — without ever having had to ask. That is the standard I hold myself and every team I lead to.
My approach is built on three principles: anticipate before being asked, communicate before there is a problem, and take full ownership of the outcome. I do not manage by checklist — I manage with the mindset of someone who genuinely cares about the property, the people in it, and the trust that has been placed in me.
Whether overseeing daily household operations, leading a complex renovation, or coordinating a multi-year asset repositioning, I bring the same calm, disciplined approach — the same operational standard I developed over years of U.S. Coast Guard-credentialed command, where the margin for error was zero and the responsibility was total.
"Exceptional estate management is often invisible. The highest standard is reflected not in what principals notice, but in what they never have to think about."
— Kevin BennettOne of the things that separates a great estate manager from an administrator is deep, practical knowledge of the building systems and trades that keep a property running. I don't just oversee contractors — I know what they're doing, whether it's being done right, and when something isn't adding up.
This technical fluency means faster problem diagnosis, better contractor accountability, smarter procurement decisions, and fewer surprises on your property's budget and timeline.
Whether you are seeking an estate manager for a private residence, a facility management partner for a commercial property, or a project lead for a complex renovation — I would welcome the conversation.
