Risk Strategies Company

I've been in the Employee Benefits world since 2007 and I'm excited to now partner with Risk Strategies as Vice President of Business Development.  My years in this industry have taught me a lot, and the most important lesson I've learned is this:  More than anything else, employees, employers, C-level executives, owners, and HR leaders deserve a partner who...

💪 Understands the Benefits world and keeps up with innovation.
💪 Takes the time to really get to know (and WANTS to know) their company/industry/business.
💪 Willingly walks their clients through a REAL and INNOVATIVE long-term strategic benefits system based upon the needs of their employees, and the company financially.

The sad fact is that the vast majority in this industry never take the time to do these things for and with their clients. It's one of the reasons benefit rates are consistently increasing, employee satisfaction is at an all time low, and brokers are forced to move from carrier to carrier begging for a better deal. 

If you are a company and you are looking for a partner, a real partner, that will walk with you through this minefield of Employee Benefits, then let's talk.

Saving Brothers 

Saving Brothers is a program focused on men’s health that’s set for launch in October 2020.

As someone who has lost a number of male friends to mental health and experienced my own health challenges, men’s health is very close to my heart. I believe that every man matters and every man’s life is important. And I want to save as many of our brothers, fathers, husbands, and sons as possible.

The platform I’m building will help give men the tools they need to stay connected and keep each other accountable for better mental and physical health.

The vision is to reach 244 million men worldwide, with:

◼ A private members’ area
◼ Savings Brothers ambassadors
◼ Coaches
◼ Programs
◼ Resources

.... all with the aim to help men take the steps they need to become and stay healthy.

If you’re also passionate about men’s health (whether physical or mental), please send me a message. I’d love to get as many people involved in this as possible!

The Holy Grail Of Property Investing

I specialise in property investment in regional Australia. Why? Because it’s the best way to find affordable properties that offer strong yields and solid capital growth opportunities. 

As a buyer’s agent, I’m not motivated by commission or sales targets. I get paid for 100% independent and unbiased advice (and a lot of behind-the-scenes legwork). My only motivation is your success.

Here’s what you get when you work with me over a 12-month period:

◼ Initial consultation to understand your needs
◼ Research-backed regional suburb analysis to assess for potential growth (I work very closely with Terry Ryder, who is Australia’s top expert in residential property research)
◼ Meeting with local agents in your shortlisted towns
◼ Personal inspection and written commentary on all suitable properties
◼ Top 3 recommendations presented
◼ Property price negotiation to get you the best deal
◼ Coordinating pest and building inspection
◼ Coordinating independent valuation and town planning assessment (if relevant)
◼ Coordinating local trades
◼ Liaising with local real estate agent for property management
◼ A collaborative process that keeps you involved at every step of the way
◼ Ensuring you stay in control of every decision
◼ 100% honesty and transparency
◼ Low-risk strategies and advice for long-term financial stability
◼ Independent advice and hard work to ensure your success

If you’re interested in working together, let’s have a chat! Send me a message or call +61410 663 111 and we can go through your situation and see what’s possible for you.

*Note: I previously sold property under the name ‘Property by ALG’.

Asset Lend Group

Asset Lend Group was my mortgage practice that delivered finance solutions for clients to help them achieve their goals, with a particular focus on property investment and retirement planning. 

Following the GFC (which heavily impacted mortgage brokers around the country), I gradually wrapped up this business to focus on sourcing properties for clients. Since I was already well-acquainted with the numbers side of property investment and what banks look for, I had the perfect background to find good, low-risk opportunities for investors.

*Note: From 2016, we also operated under the name, Dual Income Concepts.

LIFE EXPERIENCE

I could tell you about my massive property portfolio, my amazing health, and perfect family life, but my journey has been somewhat more colourful than that. I’ve been through:

◼ Becoming a dad to two amazing boys
◼ Making a lot of money
◼ Losing a lot of money
◼ Divorce
◼ Cancer
◼ Mental health battles

I’ve had a difficult journey at times. I understand your issues (maybe you’ve even experienced some of the above) and I don’t judge. But I’m a problem solver, so let’s work together and come up with a strategy that will work for you.
