What do you do in your role?

I have been with Inception Finance and Bayside Home Loans for over two years now. During this time I have been specialising in recognising borrowing capacities and options for our investment clients. 

Last year we assisted so many of our new clients to buy their first home using the then available government incentives. This year my focus is Bayside Home Loans and supporting all our neighbours here in the Redlands. 

My role in finance is to assess the new and existing client leads for current and future investment opportunities based on the client's current financial position. 

What have you done before working for Bayside Home Loans? 

I am an engineer by training and after a career with IBM, I became self employed doing a number of different roles. I have been a licensed mortgage broker for the last 16 years.

How do you like to spend your time outside of work?

Family and friends take up a lot of my time (luckily everyone has come through this difficult time well). Love the football (Go the Maroons) and am a cricket tragic to the point of going to England in 2019 to see the Ashes. Otherwise after hours you will catch me watching a movie, listening to a podcast or reading a book. 

What is something that people don't know about you?

I am a toastmaster and have competed at QLD state finals for public speaking.

What is your favourite food/drink?

Love a BBQ - and really is there ever a bad time for pizza ????

Where is your favourite place you have been and why?

There have been so many - Gallipoli was a very emotional experience - however watching - nine Spitfires flying in formation over Duxford in Cambridge England during the air show to commemorate the 75th anniversary of that famous aeroplane was also very special. Those are only topped by being there when my two children come into this world.
