A little bit about me

Professional Life

​

I have been working within the independent financial services sector for over 20 years. Over these years I have obtained a number of professional qualifications and been exposed to a number of financial planning areas which has allowed me to provide a wide range of holistic financial advice in the following areas:

​

• Savings and Investments

• Childrens Savings

• Pensions - Personal and Workplace

• Mortgages/Buy to Let and Equity Release

• Personal/Corporate protection

• Estate planning - Wills and Trusts

• Tax planning

• Company Financial planning

​

Throughout my career I have been lucky enough to have worked with a number of specialists in both the accountancy and legal sectors to help provide financial advice to a range of people from all walks of life.

​

My career journey has led me to wanting to help and educate people in a variety of financial areas which will enable them to become financially independent. With the right guidance I believe anyone can achieve financial security.

​

Personal Life

​

Outside of work, I am passionate about an outdoor lifestyle, particularly when it comes to spending time in the mountains. I love both climbing and hiking up mountains, as well as skiing and abseiling back down them. 

​​

I have an amazing family that I cherish and enjoy spending quality time with. A lot of my motivation to pursue various activities in life comes from them.

Why I created MoneyRocket

​

The purpose of this website is to express my belief that financial planning can be straight forward for most people. I believe that anyone can achieve their goals—financial or otherwise—by following a few basic principles and disciplines.

 

I have always maintained that financial advice should be accessible to everyone, not just the ultra-wealthy. Everyone deserves guidance, and with the right planning, I can help individuals secure their financial future for themselves and their loved ones.

 

I have encountered many financial advisers who judge individuals solely based on their wealth or social background. I do not subscribe to this viewpoint. I see people as individuals, regardless of their financial status. Everyone is equally entitled to financial advice.

 

The internet is flooded with information, which often makes it difficult to sift through the misinformation. Many claim to offer help, but when you look closer, you’ll often find that they are just selling a product.

 

I want to create a space where concepts are explained in simple terms, empowering people to make informed decisions about their goals.
