GETTING IN TOUCH
I started in the financial services business in 2008 based in Auckland before moving down to Queenstown to expand the practice in 2015. I now look after my Auckland, Whangarei and Queenstown clients by travelling back and forth, which keeps life interesting – I count it a privilege to be able to see the best of both ends of our beautiful country.

My Philosophy

I have found that there are 3 main questions people have when it comes to insurance. Firstly, what type and how much cover do I need? Second, is the process going to be arduous and time consuming? And most importantly, when I need it, is the insurance company going to pay me out? I seek to bring peace of mind to all of those aspects of the experience.

Our fact finding process helps us properly understand your situation and therefore we can use objective data to determine what cover you need and how much of it. Secondly, we use latest industry technology to streamline the application and underwriting process, making everyone’s lives a lot easier. And lastly, because I go through a comprehensive data gathering exercise up front and everything is fully disclosed, I haven’t had a single issue with a claim decline where a claim should have been paid. I have seen 100% of legitimate claims be paid, every time for the last 13 years and counting. It’s worth having a quality broker.

Personal
I am married to Sarah and we have 4 young children Caleb, Gracie, Jesse, and Adeline all of whom keep us on our feet. Having bases in both Auckland and Queenstown means our family gets to experience the best of what both locations are able to offer.
