I'm a country boy, originally from a town west of Parkes. My family owned a farm in a small part of the world called Bogan Gate. Growing up in rural Australia, I couldn't have wished for a better
experience. It taught me to be honest, work hard and help others.

I've taken these lessons and built a business that helps people align their money decisions with
personal values for more fulfilling futures. As much as I love numbers, graphs and charts, I get the biggest buzz from getting to know my clients.

Outside office hours, you'll find me at the beach, keeping fit, and supporting the mighty Canberra Raiders.

I built my first website in 2000 while studying Law at University of Newcastle. Having already landed a job as National eCommerce Manager for Wine Selectors before graduating, I chose to instead finish with a BA majoring in Philosophy. That's still a passion of mine. If people with different perspectives can get together to explore "big ideas" with critical thinking and an open mind, we can make real progress. When I'm not running SageMG, I run a local community group Common Ground (commonground.forum), where guest panelists speak on controversial topics, with questions and participation from a broad audience.

I return to uni intermittently to work through a combined Mathematics and Computer Science degree, aiming for a Masters in Data Science to contribute to a more sensible, data driven discourse in politics and media.
