ABOUT - RICHIE BREAUX
Born in Peoria, Illinois, Richie Breaux's life was forever changed at age three when a house fire shook his world and brought him face-to-face with Jesus. From that moment, his life was marked by purpose. After relocating to California and then back to Peoria, his family faced yet another devastating house fire that resulted in the loss of everything. Despite these hardships, Richie thrived as a three-star athlete in high school, which eventually led him to play college football. However, it was God's calling that guided him to enlist in the Navy, where he was stationed in Pearl Harbor, Hawai’i.
In Hawaii, Richie met Tiffany, the love of his life. Together for more than 20 years, they have shared over 17 years of marriage, raised four children, and welcomed 13 grandchildren. In 2012, they took a leap of faith to start a residential construction company in Hawaii, beginning with limited resources and humble beginnings. Through steadfast trust in God, Richie and Tiffany grew the business, doubling its revenue year after year, earning recognition in 2021 as one of the fastest-growing companies in the nation, and securing a spot on the Inc. 5000 list as well as the Top 50 Construction Companies in the U.S.
Richie’s journey extends far beyond business success. In 2020-24, his leadership was recognized on Hawaii’s Business Top 250 Business list and in the Black Book of Top Executives to Know in Hawai’i. In 2021, he was honored as one of the National Kitchen and Bath (KBB) Persons of the Year. In 2023, his company made headlines by leading the renovation of one of the highest-selling homes in Orange County, which sold for $34 million and was purchased by Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine, further establishing his reputation as one of the nation’s top builders.
Richie has been a dedicated advocate for addressing Hawaii’s housing shortages, rising inflation, and permitting delays. Recognizing the urgency of these challenges, he launched a podcast to inspire solutions, hosting state officials, department directors, and the mayor to foster constructive dialogue from a builder’s perspective. His efforts aim to improve efficiency and spark creative ideas for positive change. In 2024, Richie was honored as Modern Luxury Hawaii’s Modern Man of the Year for his impactful leadership.
