PRESENTER:
James “Kimo” Percy | Building Operations Manager, Stream Realty Partners
Born and raised in California (Bay Area), James enlisted in the Navy where he served as an aircrewman and jet engine mechanic on MH-53E helicopters and C-20 (Gulfstream III) aircraft. Upon separating from the Navy in late 1998, James requested to be relocated to Austin with the hopes of attending the University of Texas. However, the cost of tuition and living forced him into the workplace where he started his civilian career where his military career ended: aircraft maintenance. After his wife got a job in commercial real estate (working for Equity Office), James decided to make the transition to, “fixing things that don’t fly.” He started working for Trammell Crow Company in 2002, transitioned to downtown office buildings in 2005, finally landing (I thought buildings did not fly) at his current property, RiverSouth, in 2022. Throughout his life, James has always enjoyed working with technology from personal computers to home automation. However, this work has never been anything more than an expensive hobby.
