Hello! I’m a dedicated financial coach and a certified financial planner with a passion for guiding clients toward a more empowered financial future. My mission is to simplify financial complexities and help individuals right-size their resources, enabling them to explore more choices in life. Ultimately, I aim to empower you to design a life that revolves around your passions, not just your paycheck.
As an independent financial advisor with over 15 years of international banking and financial services experience, I deliver tailored, unbiased holistic advice that truly reflects my clients’ life goals. I believe in building lasting relationships, walking alongside my clients through their financial journeys, and prioritizing their best interests at every step.
In addition to my advisory work, I am fueled by a commitment to enhance financial literacy, especially among underrepresented individuals. Through engaging education and thoughtful writing, I strive to make financial knowledge accessible to all. As a Life Coach and the founder of minimalistinthecity.com, I promote the principles of minimalism and financial independence, helping people discover how decluttering can lead to a more meaningful and purpose-driven life.
I am also actively involved in the digital finance space, contributing to platforms like CPF, The Financial Coconut, and iFast, where I share insights and promote financial wellness. I wholeheartedly believe in "living a simple and meaningful life," where you can achieve your ikigai and financial success in ways that resonate with who you are.
Outside of my professional pursuits, I'm a family man who thrives on adventures in nature. I'm currently aspiring to scale Mt. Kilimanjaro and trek across Patagonia—exploring the world is one of my greatest joys!

There were indeed some surprises when we dig deeper on mortgages, insurance coverage, and investment portfolios. One of the advantages was the one-stop shop. Instead of multiple sessions with various specialists, you were able to give all the information then and there, with comprehensive planning and actions. It has benefitted me, and I'm sure, others will also find it beneficial. I wish you the best of luck in your new role as a financial coach and your mission to promote financial planning with a lifetime of relationships!”
