My Story and Services

I grew up in humble circumstances in country New South Wales and knew from an early age I wanted to work in finance, and understand how financial markets work.

My career has taken me from working on the Sydney Futures Exchange, to becoming a proprietary trader for Bankers Trust and Macquarie Bank in New York. The best investment I ever made was in my own education. I have studied at great universities and consider myself a lifelong student.

At Harvard, my capstone project was a paper detailing the attributes of the kind of people that succeed in financial markets. All of my findings remain true today. I find it helps to be a good listener, to think independently, and be open minded around new ideas.

Every day is an adventure in the world of financial markets and I can’t think of any other job I’d rather have.

I chose Morgan Stanley because of their global resources and high ethical standards. It’s a great firm to be part of and I’m proud to work here.

My aim is to bring this to the table when we meet. I am here to help and am fortunate to be surrounded by a team of like-minded people.

Please contact me if you think I can help you.
