Having spent 8 years in London and gaining experience as a Fund Manager, Mike is well positioned to impart his knowledge of investments with our clients in assisting them to better understand their wealth creation strategies. Armed with this knowledge, Mike is keen to use his experience to engage with clients and help them explore what is important to them so they can achieve the goals and life they desire.

Personally:

During Mike’s former years he spent many family holidays and boarding school ‘leave passes’ on the Northern Beaches with his extended family. These days Mike loves spending time with his family and friends, keeping fit by taking part in various cycling events, beach swims and triathlons, as well as being involved with surfing and Nippers at his local surf club in Mona Vale. Married to Sara and with two children, Isabella and James, he enjoys getting involved with his children’s extra curricular and sporting activities.

Mark commenced his career in the financial planning industry in 1997. Before becoming an
adviser, he held several specialist and senior roles across some of Australia’s leading wealth
businesses. For more than a decade he was responsible for the training and support of financial
advisers, with a particular emphasis on the formation of strategy for their clients.
Mark’s in-depth experience, education and passion for clients provides an ideal foundation for
wealth advice to his clients.

Personally

Family and friends are a key focus for Mark outside of work, with him regularly spending time out
and about with his wife Di and their two teenage boys Jed and Kye. He loves to be active,
particularly when this involves sport, travel or renovating. Mark loves the ocean and surfing, and
is a keen snow skier. He is also a qualified executive coach as well as a certified personal
trainer.
