1. At Davidsons I am Manager of the Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF) division
  2. I chose SMSFs as a career because I am passionate about helping people take control of their financial affairs in retirement.
  3. My clients love working with me because they have the peace of mind I can be trusted, relied on and accessible when they most need me.
  4. The team would describe me as a calming influence in stressful periods and a bit of a perfectionist.
  5. Something you may not know about me is I have 3 kids under 5 (2 boys and a girl) and a younger more talented brother who plays footy in the blue and white hoops for the Cats.
  6. My weekends are spent with my beautiful wife and 3 kids most likely at a local park/playground enjoying the sunshine and a cappuccino (Never drank coffee until I had kids!)
  7. The number one thing I love about Davidsons and my career is that every day a new opportunity presents itself to make a positive difference to a team member’s development or a client’s financial well being
