Senior Lending Consultant
Prior to joining Lending Specialists in 2022, I worked in a major bank for 35+ years, working in various personal lending roles and consultant positions assisting with the integration of personal banking systems. I then spent a further couple of years with Aussie Home Loans working in the mortgage broking field.
Since joining Lending Specialists I have completed a Commercial Lending course which has consolidated my lending knowledge and has added another string to my bow. I really enjoy the chance to meet new people on their lending journeys and help them achieve their goals.
I really love my sport and actively follow Richmond in the AFL and all forms of motor racing.

Loan Consultant & Sales Support
Dip Fin Serv (Finance/Mortgage Broking Management)
I am passionate about the Sydney Swans in the AFL and my memorabilia collection continues to grow. I also love spending time with my family and friends and my pet cat.
I’ve been involved with Lending Specialists since 2000, predominantly in a back office support role where I’m involved with the processing of loan files for Lending Specialists and our broker members of Loans Actually. I deal with lenders, real estate agents, solicitors and conveyancers, brokers and clients ensuring the loans are actively managed to settlement.
Every deal is different, so there is no end to the many challenges I face each day, but it’s a real thrill when the clients receive that special call when their loan is approved or settled.

Senior Loan Consultant
Dip Fin Serv (Finance/Mortgage Broking Management)
I enjoy watching a wide variety of sports and spending as much time as I can with my wife and 2 girls.
My background, prior to joining Lending Specialists in 2009, was in accounting, property investment and mortgage broking. I love working with figures and get a real kick out helping people qualify for loans that help them achieve their financial goals.
I have extensive skills in residential and commercial lending and have been able to assist many small to medium business with their various finance needs.
I could be considered an all-rounder, with sound knowledge in many areas and my attention to detail means you are dealing with a true mortgage broking professional.

Office Manager & Loan Consultant
Dip Fin Serv (Finance/Mortgage Broking Management)
I love all sports, particularly golf and have been involved in marshalling many of the major Australian Golf tournaments in Victoria since 2003. I enjoy spending what spare time I have with my wife, children and also with other family members who live interstate.
My previous experience of more than 23 years’ in Banking prior to joining the mortgage broking industry in 2003 (including having been a Branch Manager of a number of suburban branches for a major Australian Bank), has helped me develop an extensive understanding of management, administration, customer service, marketing, staffing and personal lending,
Initially, my role with Lending Specialists was that of Office Administration Manager where I oversaw the everyday business functions of the office, but that was expanded in 2005 when I also took on the role of Chief Executive Officer of our sister company (Loans Actually). The ever changing lending landscape, especially with licencing and compliance, takes up plenty my time as I make sure everyone in the office (and my Loans Actually members) is kept up to date and properly trained.
I guess the fact is, I really enjoy seeing people develop and improve and get the best out of themselves.

Director
Dip Fin Serv (Finance/Mortgage Broking Management)
I am a lover of all sports (especially Collingwood in the AFL), spending time with my family and my crazy pet dog.
My business achievements have been many, but it is as the founder of two amazing businesses (Lending Specialists – a mortgage broking company and Loans Actually – a mortgage broking group) which help both borrowers and mortgage brokers alike to achieve their goals in the maze that is the wider financial services industry, that I am most proud.
My many years in finance have been spent in the areas of residential, business, commercial SMSF lending, and vehicle and equipment finance which has been vital in helping me form some wonderful relationships with quality industry professionals who I can rely on for advice and their specialised services.
I am thankful that I am highly regarded throughout the mortgage broking industry where I have received many accolades and acknowledgements such as my PLAN Australia CEO Award and recognition through their Hall of Fame and Ambassadorship.
