About me
My Financial Planning journey started in 2010 with Ori-Vaal Bluestar. When I started out as a young man, I quickly realised the importance of what I’m doing when I had my first Severe illness claim. After that claim I realized why my God chose to place me in this career, not to sell a product but to protect a livelihood by serving others and to provide the best possible financial advice that I can give. I completed my Post Graduate Diploma in Financial Planning, Investment Planning and Estate Planning. I am a Certified Financial Planner. I am married and have two beautiful children; my family is everything to me and I regard my clients as family as well. It is for this reason that I will go out of my way to give them my best and always be there for them. My passion is nature and hunting, to be with friends and family around a braai and I love sports.
