Who am I?
I hold a Bachelor of Social Science degree majoring in Economics and Industrial Psychology from UCT and am a Fellow of the Institute of Life and Pension Advisors (FPI) and a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional.
I started my financial planning career at Old Mutual, dealing with wealth management practices, and realised this is where I could add value to people’s lives. From there I became a Director of Alexander Forbes Financial Planning Consultants.
In 2002, I established Precept Wealth Solutions, from which Sterling Private Wealth evolved. I use my keen interest in psychology to help my clients navigate their financial needs and understand their investment thinking.

Who Do I Work With?
Clients planning towards retirement – whether 10 years away or already there, I enjoy helping clients make the most of what they have worked hard to build.
Areas Of Focus
Our Team
My Approach
01 - Integrity
The right advice is not always the comfortable advice. I will tell my clients what they need to hear and not what they want to hear to ensure I genuinely serve their financial wellbeing.
02 - Clarity
I will help strip away the noise and get to what actually matters.
03 - Partnership
I work with my clients to understand their needs, so recommendations are appropriate to their specific requirements.

Outside Of Work
Based in Johannesburg with a bush home in Hoedspruit. Married with one fur child. Love spending time in the bush identifying different birds and enjoying the serenity. Inspired by brilliant minds like Warren Buffett, I draw inspiration from those with courage, a sense of selflessness and those who practice forgiveness.

Memorable Moment
At a large client review one of my dear clients had one look at the large document I was about to share and said “You can keep that, I only want the one pager showing a summary of everything”. This taught me to simplify where possible but include details where necessary.

What It's Like Working With Me
My approach is simple: I take the time to truly understand your goals, your lifestyle, and what matters most to you – then put my expertise to work to help you get there with confidence.
Retirement should feel exciting, not uncertain. I’m here to make sure it does.
