About Us

A message from our Founder:

I grew up in country NSW in a town called Kempsey, home to Slim Dusty and Akubra hats, exciting huh? While I was growing up, Kempsey was a small town of about 20,000 people and I lived 30 minutes inland on 150 acres and while it was amazing to have so much bushland to explore it came with a tonne of financial challenges.

My dad built the small 2 bedroom house I grew up in (and he is NOT a builder), and I shared a tiny room with my younger brother and sister. There were very little employment opportunities in Kempsey so my dad was trying to make ends meet doing manual labouring jobs while my mum looked after us kids. Money as you can probably imagine was always tight. Wearing clothes made by my mum (with fluoro striped shorts and dinosaur shirts) and eating black & gold or no frills cereal (cocoa puffs – not cocoa pops) with powdered milk and the treat was a hot chicken from Woolies on shopping day which was Thursdays. Not exactly a life of luxury. 

When I was 10 years old my Dad ended up needing back surgery due to 20+ years of manual labour and after had to stop working. He was forced into retirement and onto the disability pension at age 40. They had no plan, no savings, no investments, no nothing and as a result struggled immediately (more than they already had). My parents were always the “too good to be true” type and as a result they were always shortsighted and living fortnight to fortnight.
 

While childhood wasn't one filled with money, it built in me an acute awareness of what happens if you don't take control of your finances and it brought money management and investing to the forefront. This only grew stronger as my parents struggled more and more on the pension while the home my dad built started to deteriorate. The timber framing was infested with termites, the house was falling apart and they had no money to fix it. From 10yrs old til about 30 I saw it get worse and worse until their home become uninhabitable and then my brother and I helped move them into a rental property in town, paid the bond, furnished the property (since everything in the old house was a write-off), and helped cover part of the rent.

All the while, from 18 years old onwards I started researching and building knowledge around money, retirement, and wealth building and property became the path I wanted to go down. After living the dark side of retirement with no money and researching a better way I joined the property investment advisory space in April 2013, I made it my mission to become the best and help as many people as I could to not end up where my parents did.
 

In June 2014 I founded a Property Investment consulting firm where I provided my services to Property Companies. To start it was just helping their customers acquire properties but quickly developed into training their staff, building their process and creating the best system for customer success. After many years in the industry, thousands of customer conversations, training everyone from outbound agents, advisors, property strategists, operations etc and watching some of the huge mistakes companies make. I relaunched in 2020 and now in 2023 100% of my focus is on Access Wealth and growing the team to provide these services directly to our customers but at a much higher level.

I do this because I’ve seen the shit side of retirement. I’ve seen what happens to people that don’t plan or are ignorant to their future and I’ve experienced the impact it has on family members around. If I can leave you with one message it would be this… Take responsibility for your financial future, its coming for you whether you like it or not and you need to decide whether you are going to draw a line in the sand and take action or accept the depressing future that ahead if you do nothing.
