I’ve been with Ease Insurance since it’s beginning, helping people understand their insurance needs and looking after existing clients. I started my career as a Corporate Accountant, and 10 years later I wanted to move into a career where I could help people realise their dreams, so I become a Mortgage Broker and helped many people become home owners. After 8 years in this area of financial services, I moved direction, but this time it was helping people work out what insurance they should have and then putting in place excellent insurance policies for them. I only recommend the highly rated insurance policies because having the best policy you can afford will make all of the difference when you make a claim. My previous roles were excellent pre-requisites to the insurance world.

I became a Financial Adviser back in 2001, I love helping people in my area of specialty and most importantly, I love it when my clients get paid money by the insurers at claim time, because this is what its all about.
What’s the strangest task you have ever needed to complete at work?
I enjoy keeping fit these days, either walking or jogging and I also enjoy a good social life with good friends, spending time with all of my children or watching a good movie or show. I love to Travel and experience new countries and places, I especially like to be out of the cold New Zealand winters. However in summer, when the weather is good I also enjoy hanging out poolside or on one of New Zealands beautiful beaches.
I’ve been married twice (second time lucky) and I have 2 adult children and 3 adult step children and a fabulous wife.

I was a financial and insurance advisor in Hong Kong for more than 7 years until 2019. The insurance brokerage that I worked at was the biggest one in Hong Kong. I got my Associate Financial Planner (AFPTM) certificate in 2014. I enjoy meeting people and know new friends from my job. My first 7 years of job experience was in marketing at property developers and a health food retail company. It gave me well-developed communication skills with clients and business partners. Each time when my clients came to say thank you for getting their claims paid or a positive return from an investment, I would feel more than happy and grateful as my job really helped people around me.

Don’t sweat the small stuff!
Life Insurance is a grudge purchase but the most important purchase you will make your entire life – you can replace your car and your material assets but you can never be replaced so insure yourself!
