Specialisations

In his early career, John worked across the full scope of financial services offerings.

Then in 2009, John set up his own financial advisory practice, so he could garner better, more meaningful & purposeful outcomes for his clients. And did he ever.

Having managed his first terminal illness claim, John saw the life-changing impact it had on his client – and his client’s family – at their most desperate time of need. So, he shifted gears. Driven by an unwavering need to genuinely help people, John experienced what few of us get to: the opportunity to make positive, life altering change to his client’s lives.

From that point, John has built an industry-renowned expertise in Personal Risk Insurance; an area he is extremely passionate about.

John’s full list of specialist expertise includes:

  • Personal Risk Insurance
  • Business Insurance
  • Business Succession planning

“First and foremost, I listen to my clients & gain a deep understanding of their situation. And I always try to put myself in my client’s shoes. Only then, can we work together to improve their financial future.”
