With over 25 years’ experience in financial planning, John is passionate about helping people feel calm and confident about their financial decisions. He believes good advice is about more than numbers — it’s about providing clarity, confidence and peace of mind, especially when decisions feel complex or uncertain.

John is known for his warm, straightforward communication style. He takes the time to explain things in plain English, answer questions openly, and help clients understand their options before making decisions. His approach is evidence‑based and structured, designed to reduce uncertainty and remove guesswork.

John brings deep experience across retirement income planning, super and tax‑effective structuring, investment strategy, risk and insurance advice, aged care planning and estate considerations. Through Strategic Advice’s tailored service packages, he supports clients through key life stages — from preparing for retirement to managing income in later years and planning for family and legacy needs.

Clients work directly with John and benefit from a personal, boutique service, supported by trusted specialist partners where required.

Outside of work, John enjoys family time and the outdoors. He has travelled extensively with his wife and three daughters, and closer to home you’ll often find him boating on the Gold Coast waterways or cheering on his youngest at weekend horse‑jumping events. When things are quieter, John enjoys a good movie night or sharing great food and wine with friends.
