“I have always been passionate about what I do.”

Early on in my married life, my wife was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer at the relatively young age of 29. I am pleased to say that Sharon is now cancer free, healthy, happy and the most wonderful mother to our two beautiful daughters.

As a result of this experience, I changed my perception on life. I focused on the things we wanted to do, the things we wanted to see and the people we could share our journey with. I started building lifelong relationships with like-minded people! This not only occurred in my personal life, but also in my business life.

I am very fortunate in that, I not only love my role as being a trusted adviser to my clients in all things financial but I also get to share all my ideas and passion for improving their lives. This might start with removing financial burdens but then evolves to encouraging them to live, to travel, to do all the things they have always dreamed of doing. There is no better satisfaction for me, than seeing them live their lives to the full.

“I love helping clients improve their lifestyle and achieve their life goals”

Going through school I had dreamed of being a professional footballer and I knew it was going to be a tough gig to crack with so many other people wanting that same dream. If I couldn’t make it as a professional footballer I had my heart set on being a physiotherapist working with a professional sports team and travelling the world with them.

As I got into my early 20’s, I found my interests led me in a different direction as I developed a love for numbers, investments and wealth creation. Over time, this bloomed into a career in financial advice.

I particularly enjoy helping my clients attain their Life goals and feel I am more a personal finance and life coach to them than anything else. To me, there is nothing more personally rewarding and fulfilling than seeing them improve their lifestyle and achieve their goals on the back of the guidance and assistance I have provided over many years.

I am married to Karlie and have three beautiful girls Mia, Ivy and Zara plus a family dog, named Locky (after the famous Queensland footballer)!  All in all, I love being a father and life is very interesting and entertaining, especially watching my three girls growing up!
