Who am I?
I'm a finance broker, business owner and strategic adviser based in Queensland. I love building businesses, solving problems and connecting with ambitious people who are doing interesting things. Outside of work, you'll usually find me travelling, at the beach, planning my next adventure, diving, or enjoying good food and wine with great company. I'm naturally curious and love conversations about business, psychology, personal growth, travel and life in general. I'm in a stage of life where I'm focused on creating more freedom, experiences and meaningful connections. My vibe is ambitious but down-to-earth, adventurous, positive, and always up for a laugh.
My Business
My business is HSA Growth Partners, based on the Sunshine Coast. I do mortgage and business finance broking, plus financial strategy for businesses that need more than just a loan. I bought another broking business earlier this year and took on its client base, so it's been a big year of growth. What drives me is pretty simple: doing right by people. Finance shows up at the biggest moments of someone's life, buying a home, buying a business, backing themselves. After 20 plus years in the industry I've seen how much it matters to have someone in your corner who's local, straight with you, and actually cares how it turns out. Building a business around that, and doing it my way, is what gets me up in the morning.
Favourite Quote
""When you kill a cockroach you're a hero, when you kill a butterfly you're evil. Morality has aesthetic criteria." It's usually credited to Nietzsche and it's stuck with me because it's such a sharp way of showing how much of what we call right and wrong is really just perception. In business and in life, people judge on optics more than substance, and this quote is a good reminder to look past the surface before making a call."
