Profile
I became a Mortgage Adviser in 1996 after working in the banking sector for 10 years. I am a co-owner and Director of Mortgage Connect (formerly Mortgage Link Manawatu) based in Palmerston North. The reason I moved into Mortgage Brokering was to have the ability to offer clients a far greater range of mortgage lenders and products. It is very satisfying being able to correctly match the loan type and lender to the clients circumstance and requirements. I am a member of Financial Advice New Zealand. While I provide clients advice on all types of mortgage finance it is always satisfying to help first home buyers. A recent client I helped was finding it difficult to finance their first home due to a large car hire purchase. Fortunately I was able to restructure the hire purchase into a much more manageable loan (and at a better interest rate). This allowed the clients to afford and qualify for a home loan. Another area I am experienced in and have a personal interest in is residential rental investment. I have built up an excellent level of knowledge in this field and am able to advise clients on complicated issues regarding loan structuring and ownership entities. I thoroughly enjoy helping clients and seeing their financial situation grow over time. I is a real thrill to see a client achieve their goals.

In my spare time I enjoy keeping fit, mountain biking and developing my lifestyle property.
