I commenced my career in the financial services industry in 1993, leveraging an accounting background gained in New Zealand. In 1997, I founded Platinum Strategies, applying my skills and knowledge to providing tailored financial advice. This marked the beginning of Platinum Strategies transformative growth as we navigated the ever-evolving industry landscape over the last 25+ years. Throughout my tenure, I have focused on building long-term partnerships and managing institutional ownership. In 2024, Platinum Strategies proudly merged with Sherrin Partners, further exemplifying our commitment to a client-centric approach.

WHY HERE, WHY THIS?
I'm dedicated to understanding each clients priorities, goals, and objectives. I believe every client is unique and deserving of advice tailored to their specific needs. When I reflect on the importance of cultivating meaningful relationships and delivering personalised, ethical advice, I'm reminded of how rewarding it is to make the financial planning process both positive and memorable. My passion for interpreting numbers and statistics to uncover valuable insights reflects my results-driven approach, while my ability to build trust with clients speaks for itself - because numbers never lie.
BEYOND SHERRIN PARTNERS
When I'm not in the office, I enjoy spending quality time with family and friends. If I'm not following a strict exercise regime, you'll find me cheering for the All Blacks, soaking up the atmosphere at an AFL game, or watching Formula 1. It's all part of my passion for sports, unity and perfecting one's craft.

WHY HERE, WHY THIS?
What sets me apart is my deep understanding of human behaviour. I know that true financial success isn't just about crunching numbers – it's about creating security and the freedom to make choices that matter. As a natural leader and problem solver, I act as a trusted advisor who speaks your language, translating complex financial concepts into actionable plans that align with your goals and values.
I don't just show up for the victories – I'm there when times are tough and when the possibilities seem endless. I'm constantly exploring new ways of thinking, particularly in areas like insurance, retirement planning, and age pension strategies, to ensure my clients are always at the cutting edge of financial strategy.
BEYOND SHERRIN PARTNERS
When I believe in something, I'm all in. This extends beyond my professional life to the footy field, where I channel my competitive spirit and teamwork skills. Off the field, I cherish time with my children Kalani, Knox and Makenzie and our GroodHeeler, Aussie. For relaxation, you'll find me catching waves on my surfboard or casting a line on the beautiful Yorke Peninsula.
