Hi, I’m Michael — a proud husband, dad of three amazing kids, adventure-seeker, craft beer enthusiast, and passionate Senior Financial Adviser.

My top priorities in life are simple:
Family, adventure, my work, and beer (in that order).

Our blended family — including our two cattle dogs, Adelaide and Bentley, and our turtle, Ralph — means the world to me. Because we don’t always get to spend every day together, we cherish the time we do have, making it as special as possible with lots of outdoor adventures. Camping, fishing, hiking, exploring — if it’s outside, we’re probably doing it. My wife and I believe in creating memories and soaking up the little things that make life extraordinary.

This love of family and adventure fuels my passion for financial advice. I understand firsthand the importance of building wealth to create a life full of experiences and protecting the people and assets that matter most. Helping clients achieve their version of a rich and fulfilling life is not just my job — it’s something I live and breathe every day.

Over my career, I’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of individuals and families with tailored financial advice. I am the Senior Financial Adviser at Navigate Finance & Wealth. Before that, I worked with both local and some of Australia’s largest financial institutions, bringing a blend of experience from boutique and major advice channels. I started my professional journey as a Paraplanner, building a strong foundation in financial strategy and client care.

My qualifications reflect my commitment to excellence and ongoing learning.

Outside of work, you’ll often find me diving into my many hobbies: trying out new craft beers, tinkering with golf swings and motorcycles, cooking up a feast on the BBQ, or — as my wife affectionately points out — obsessing over our lawn.

At the end of the day, I’m just a real person who loves working with real people.
If you value genuine relationships and straightforward advice, I’d love to connect.
