You're Doing Well... But It Still Feels Unclear

On paper, things look good.

You’re earning a solid income.
You’ve got a career (or business) that’s moving forward.
You’re building a life for your family.

But underneath it all, there’s a question that keeps popping up:

“Am I actually doing this right?”

Because between the mortgage, kids, growing income, and competing priorities…
it’s not always obvious what the right financial decisions are.

That’s where I come in, to help you make sense of it all.

My Story

I started my professional career as an electrical engineer, drawn to problem solving and figuring out how things worked.

But over time, I realised the career wasn’t what I hoped it would be.

So naturally, I did what any rational person would do…
I started a completely unrelated business teaching breakdancing.

And got absolutely steamrolled.

Turns out, passion alone doesn’t pay the bills. 

 

Looking back, my lack of financial knowledge wasn’t just a weak spot… it was the reason I kept making the same mistakes in bigger and more expensive ways.

I didn’t track cash flow.
I didn’t price properly.
I didn’t understand tax or debt.

I wasn’t running a business, I was riding a runaway train, hoping it would all work itself out.

After 8 long years, I finally shut it down, but that experience lit a fire under me.

I never wanted to be in that position again of being stressed, uncertain, and completely out of control with money.

So I became obsessed with fixing it.

Over the next 12 months I got my own finances in order, completed my Graduate Diploma in Financial Planning, and married the woman who had stood by me through all of it.

Since then, I’ve spent several years working in financial services and realised:

Most financial advice doesn’t speak to people like us.

Young professionals.
Business owners.
Parents trying to juggle everything at once.

It’s no wonder financial planning gets pushed to the bottom of the list.

That’s why I created Committed Wealth.

To cut through the noise.
To make financial advice actually make sense.
And to give people a plan they can follow with confidence.

My goal is simple:

To help people like you build real wealth and create the kind of future your family will thank you for.

Who I Work Best With

I work with people who are doing well, but want a clearer plan to do better:

Typically:

  • Young parents trying to get ahead while raising kids
  • Professionals earning strong incomes but unsure if they’re optimising it
  • Business owners balancing growth, lifestyle and long term wealth

If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place!

How I Think About Financial Planning

Financial planning isn’t just about investing.

It’s about putting the right things… in the right place.

Real progress doesn’t come from chasing the next investment idea, it comes from having a clear, structured plan that actually fits your life.

My role is to help you:

  • Get clarity on where you stand

  • Make better financial decisions

  • Build a plan that works in the real world

  • And most importantly — stick to it

Our Relationship

You bring the goals, I help you build the plan and follow through on it.

No jargon.
No overcomplication.
Just clear advice and a structured approach to moving forward.

A Bit About Me

Outside of work, I’m a husband and dad to two young kids.

Which means I understand firsthand what it’s like to juggle money, time, and priorities while trying to build a better future for your family.

That perspective shapes everything I do.
