For more than 23 years, Percy has been dedicated to educating Hawaii’s seniors—as well as legal, financial, and healthcare professionals—about Aging in Place and how a thoughtfully structured reverse mortgage can help seniors maintain financial stability and independence.

As a Hawaii Reverse Mortgage Specialist with C2 Financial, one of the largest and most trusted mortgage brokerages in the state, Percy now leverages the full strength and resources of C2 to provide exceptional service, personalized guidance, and access to a wide range of lending solutions for Hawaii’s kupuna and their families.

He is a Certified Senior Advisor (CSA)—the only double-accredited designation in both the financial services and senior-care industries—and also holds the Certification for Long-Term Care (CLTC), giving him extensive expertise in long-term care planning.

Percy is the creator of the highly popular Generations Magazine Annual “Aging in Place” Workshop, a signature Hawaii event attended by baby boomers and their parents. This workshop provides trusted, practical information on navigating the challenges of aging in place—covering housing, caregiving, health, finance, and community resources.
