James, the “Big Kahuna” is the brains, boots, and occasionally broom behind GaeaTeam. After years of juggling business ventures and perfectly stacking dish towels, he founded GaeaTeam with a mission: to raise the bar for property management and cleaning services along the North Oregon Coast—with a smile, a spreadsheet, and zero tolerance for sand in the bed.

With a background in hospitality, tech, and good old-fashioned elbow grease, James brings a rare mix of heart and hustle to every home. He’s known for his attention to detail, quick wit, and uncanny ability to remember which remote controls what in every property (a true superpower).

When he’s not coordinating cleanings or helping guests fall in love with the Oregon Coast, you can find James enjoying Italian food with his wife Arlene, cracking dad jokes with his daughter Moira, or sneaking in a plate of peanut butter chicken between bookings.

James believes that great hospitality starts behind the scenes—with an awesome team, clear communication, and maybe just a little caffeine. Whether you need a property manager, a dependable cleaner, or someone to explain the difference between eggshell and satin finish, James has your back.
