What got you interested in this field?

It was not until after college that I began to understand the value of finance. Making wise decisions with money matters to everyone – businesses, families, schools and churches. Understanding its importance led me on a journey of reading and discovery which has fascinated and challenged me ever since. I enjoy the process of learning and in finance have found a field where the learning never has to stop.

Family

I have been happily married for over 10 years to my wonderful wife, Kaitlin. We have two children, Boaz (Bo) and Charlotte (Charlie) – they are loads of fun and we are grateful for the journey we are on together as a family.

Hobbies and Relaxation

When not in the office, you can catch me cycling on the White Pine trail, catching up on a good book or grabbing dinner with family or friends (some favorites: Donkey, Butcher’s Union and Bombay Cuisine).
