A bit about me. 

Born in Yeovil, 1973 in to a farming family, I spent time growing up in both the UK & New Zealand, hence my kiwi accent.

My first career move was to join the Royal New Zealand Navy and see the world, 'so they say'. After visiting places like Hong Kong, Singapore, parts of Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand, I decided that I preferred to keep my feet on solid soil.

I was offered the opportunity to return back to the UK to work with my Grandparents in Somerset and then on my Fathers farm in Devon.

In 1995, my Financial Services career, started by being an Estate Agent. This was quite an eventful stage of my career as so many agents were changing hands and or closing. First it was Cornerstone Estate Agents who were owned by Abbey National, then Redferns who were bought out by Halifax. It was with Halifax Estate Agents I was asked to consider the position of Mortgage Adviser and without hesitation I accepted the role and have not looked back since.

In the progressing years, I sat my Financial Planning Certificates and Ce-Map exam allowing me to spread my wings if needed be.

Then it happened again... Halifax decided to close their Southwest Branches of the estate agency network, so I then became a Mortgage and Financial Adviser for Bradley's Estate Agents in Newton Abbot, Torquay & Paignton.

In 2002 things changed. My Wife and I decided to take a career break and move back to New Zealand to see if we could settle and live the dream... for two and a half years, we made it work... however homesickness brought our return to the country.

HSBC was my next move, the life of the bank assurance, working the good old 9-5 and so on, but it just was not for me. I then began negotiations to join my (at the time) mortgage broker Vincent Kelly, who was an independent whole of market mortgage broker.

What a difference. A Self Employed Mortgage Broker being able to help my clients with out the restrictions of a bank... GREAT!!! I loved it so much in November 2007 I bought in to the company KMS Mortgages and am now a co-director.

With my keen eye on technology and computers, Vincent and I started to establish systems that would allow other brokers to join us and expand the team, we now have 3 Mortgage Advisers working with us to cover Exeter down to Plymouth.

Looking back, I wish I had gone self employed sooner, but I guess you cant beat the experience of working for different companies, building up your knowledge to do your job even better.
