His goal is to empower individuals, families and business owners to make confident, well-informed financial decision, both for today and for generations to come!
Away from work, James is a devoted dad, partner and self-confessed sports enthusiast. He never misses a good football match (unless, of course the TV schedule is vetoed by his fiancée—fair’s fair). Whether he's catching up the sports or diving into a live gig, he finds energy in the things he loves. Holidays are a precious time to slow down, laugh harder and make memories with his young family.
At home, life is full of joyful chaos! Between scattered toys, snack negotiations and Joey the Bernese Mountain Dogs gentle mischief, James wouldn't trade a second of it. It's these everyday moments, both in family life and in his work with client, that continue to inspire him every day.
As James puts it: “True financial confidence comes not from having all the answers, but from having someone you trust to ask the right questions.”
