Thirty years in Australian finance before this conversation.
Adviser and leadership roles at Mine Super, then five years advising with Super Advice Australia and PictureWealth. I passed the FASEA adviser exam in 2020, hold a Graduate Diploma of Financial Planning with Distinction (2023) and a Diploma of Finance and Mortgage Broking, and run my own SMSF. I now work with investors and their advisers at Geonet, and live on Tamborine Mountain in south east Queensland.
How I help
Understand the investment
A plain walk through how these projects are structured and the questions worth asking, whether you are weighing one yourself or advising a client.
In the room together
I join the conversation between an investor and their adviser as the specialist, so everyone works from the same detail.
The detail on file
Ownership structures, operator track record, SMSF considerations and due-diligence material, for the investor and the adviser alike.
I work with investors and advisers, together or separately.

In partnership with Geonet
Geonet Property & Finance Group develops and manages hotel and resort projects in Bali with global hospitality brands. I represent the group across Queensland, working with investors and the advisers who look after them.
