Someone once said "if you can get a job doing your favourite hobby you will never work another day in your life". Grant’s real hobby has been finance, hence coming to work is not really work – it’s actually FUN and he loves it! He does have other interests, such as travel, having visited many countries over four continents. He also loves growing vegetables, participating in water sports…and being a parent. Grant has 3 boys (all in their early 20's) and has had to learn, like most parents, that not everyone does as he wishes with their money! Grant specialises in helping families and business owners manage their personal finances more strategically, as well as helping them add value to their team through effective Financial Planning Strategies and Principles. Grant has been an active member of the Financial Planning Association of Australia since 1995. He has also participated in the Variety Bash Queensland raising much needed funds for young disadvantaged Queenslanders.
