I joined Cole Murray Financial Advisers in 2025, but my career in financial advice began back in 2011. Before that, I studied Business and Commerce at Otago University and worked in sales. These experiences taught me a lot about what makes businesses tick.

Over the years, I’ve developed a real understanding of the needs and challenges small business owners face. What drives me is making sure every client gets the right cover for their unique situation. I work with a lot of self-employed people and small to medium business owners, particularly in the farming and rural sectors. My specialty is helping protect what matters most – through life, trauma, income and mortgage protection, health insurance, ACC CoverPlus and CoverPlus Extra, and key person cover.

Everyone’s journey is different, and life can be unpredictable. I believe in tailoring my advice to fit each client’s personal and business needs, making sure they’re properly protected as life changes.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me on the golf course, catching waves, or enjoying time with my wife Kate and our three kids.
