I have a Bachelor of Arts and Law from Monash University. I was admitted as a solicitor in Victoria in 2009 and have practised in commercial law for over 10 years, with my most recent role being the Head of Business at a mid-sized commercial firm in the Melbourne CBD.
What do you like about representing 3P in the marketplace?
I like representing 3P in the marketplace because I'm representing a company that aligns with my core values. People matter and 3P has a focus on the whole person, doesn't focus on the transactional nature of the services that we provide.
What do you like about servicing and working with clients?
My best days are those spent interacting with clients and helping them to resolve their legal issues and achieve their goals.
If money was no option, and you were ten times bolder, what would you be doing?
I love helping people, so I'd probably still be doing that in some capacity. I'd love hiking and the outdoors, so I'd probably be doing more of that – perhaps hiking the Appalachian trail?
What is your one favourite pastime?
I love hiking and spending time with my wife and son, Jack. Jack is almost one and already walking so that certainly has been keeping me busy.
I used to be worried about the future, had a lack of direction, felt anxious and overwhelmed, like I was needing clarification. Ziggy didn’t seem surprised by my situation, as if it was ok and that other people also go through situations like this. Ziggy & his team was good at helping calm me down and to take control of the situation with some great strategy, he helped us consider all scenarios and helped us to get started. We have just started on our journey with Ziggy but are starting to feel confident, empowered, and looking forward to getting some further direction for the future. THANKS!
