Growing up in a coastal country town in NSW has taught me a lot over the years. It's taught me to be entrepreneurial and ambitious (Let's face it, great career opportunities in a country town are seldom in abundance) It's taught me to respect my fellow man (Remember a time when you walked down the street and said hello to complete strangers no matter who they were? I do) It's also taught me how lucky we are to live in such an opportunistic country where anyone can "break the chain" and become successful. This has been one of my biggest challenges and also toughest lessons in life.

I am very fortunate to have been one of those to "break the chain" and I think my background has played a big part in the decisions I have made both professionally and personally. I believe in equality, and I believe that everyone should be given an opportunity to become successful. But what does "success" really mean? To some this means money in the bank or maybe to own a yacht. To some this means finishing a degree or pursuing a career they love or simply to have financial comfort and provide security to their family- Point being is that we are all different.

Being a financial adviser demands an understanding of people, more importantly it demands compassion, empathy, motivation and lets not forget a properly aligned moral compass! I have the pleasure of working with a great team that shares my passion and more importantly, I am part of a business that supports me to help give others the same opportunity I was.

As an adviser, I love nothing more than living vicariously through my clients and supporting them on their journey as they achieve success in different aspects of their lives because financial planning not all about money. It's about achieving comfort, it's about looking after family, it's about happiness and above all it's about feeling successful, whatever that may mean.

For as long as clients entrust me to be a part of their journey - I too will feel successful.
