Investment Adviser

John Watkins was born and raised in the snow and cold of Colorado but after graduating from the University of Colorado with a BA in Communications, he and his wife Nikki had had enough. They needed a change and headed for the warm Las Vegas desert.

Spencer is a young professional who was born and raised in the City of Long Beach. He attended Wilson High School and graduated in 2016. After high school, Spencer went on to attend the University of Redlands, where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Sustainable Business with a minor in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in 2020.

Investment Adviser

After eight years of property management in Oakland, Los Angeles, Redondo Beach, and Gardena, Elaine Kim transitioned into commercial real estate when she realized she would be able to help more people—in addition to her family—achieve their personal and financial goals. She picked Centennial to work with because their ethos of “people over property” was evident in their achievements.
