Professionally

My first degree was in Science, which I followed up with a Master’s in Business Administration. It was during the MBA that I found my passion for financial services and majored in capital markets and investment management.

I then completed a Diploma in Financial Planning and a Graduate Diploma in Certified Financial Planning.

I entered the world of financial services in 1998 as a financial adviser and have been advising clients and running financial advisory businesses ever since.

My main tasks are to make sure the business is operating compliantly and efficiently, and to deliver excellent, independent advice to clients. 

Personally

Much of my spare time is spent very happily with family. As a husband and father of 4 adult children there is nothing better than spending time together.

I like to start every day at the gym and make a point of biking whatever the weather.

I used to play rugby and these days enjoy watching from the side-lines resisting the temptation for just one more game.

I speak reasonable French (for an Australian), and een klein beetje Dutch, which I am working on improving.

I enjoy reading across a broad range of subjects, I always have a couple of books on the go.

I appreciate a well-made espresso, and a well selected wine. Looking to Ed for a recommendation for the wine, not the coffee.
