I'm a specialist commercial finance broker with 16 years of experience helping Australian business owners access commercial property finance. As founder of Smart Business Plans, I've overseen $550 million in commercial finance across more than 3,300 clients, with a 92% approval rate working across a panel of 60+ specialist lenders. My expertise sits at the intersection of commercial property, business finance, and wealth strategy — particularly for small to medium business owners looking to buy their own premises, invest through their SMSF, or fund development projects. I work exclusively in the commercial space, which means I specialise where the major banks often can't or won't go. I'm also the author of The Premise Effect (2026), which makes the case for why Australian business owners are leaving millions on the table by renting rather than owning their business premises. I'm available to comment on: commercial property finance, SMSF borrowing, business lending, commercial mortgage rates, Australian property market trends, and small business wealth building.

I have accumulated well over thirty years of experience in real estate and real estate finance. I have sold and/or underwritten over two billion dollars in real estate lending products. I have managed a lender bank portfolio of millions of dollars of real estate loans including responsibility for sales of bank owned properties. In 2018, I established and still manage a successful real estate brokerage offering property management of residential rental units, and also on and off market residential sales. I developed a passion for The Finger Lakes several years ago; boating, kayaking, and vacationing on the lakes. Ultimately, I purchased a home on Canandaigua Lake and live there year-round with my wife Tracy and two golden retrievers; Midas and Harper (they love the lakes too!) I am currently a water quality monitor for The Canandaigua Lake Watershed Association. I plan to continue learning about lake initiatives and stewardship with them. What I have found discouraging are experiences that I have seen both buyers and sellers of lake homes experience. Having sold lots of houses does not equate to understanding the nuances of lake real estate. Lake real estate is not only about housing. It is about a lifestyle. There are many important considerations, not only from the perspective of if a house is a good investment, but also how it supports a lifestyle. There are concerns to consider with a property on a dynamic body of water.

I spend a lot of my time talking with people who aren’t sure what their next step is. Sometimes they’re thinking about moving. Should they downsize? Expand? Relocate? Or just renovate? Other times, they’ve already started the process, and something doesn’t feel quite right. And I know that most people just want to understand their options without feeling pushed into a decision. I’m a Sales Representative with RE/MAX Escarpment Realty and part of The Brandow Group, working in Hamilton, Stoney Creek, and surrounding communities. I work with buyers, sellers, and renters. Some are people relocating to Southern Ontario, but the real work usually happens in the conversations before anything official begins. We’ll talk through things like timing, budget, wishlists & compromises, and what day-to-day life might actually look like in a home or neighbourhood. I look for the details that don’t always show up in a listing, and I’ll point them out, even if it slows things down a bit. I use a similar approach when people ask about rental properties. Some investors do very well, but it’s not as simple as it looks from the outside. Being a landlord in Ontario comes with real responsibility, legal obligations, and financial risk. I’ve had more than a few conversations where something looked like a “good deal” at first, and after we walked through what it actually involves, the person decided it wasn’t the right fit. I think that’s just as important as helping someone move forward. I’ve worked with first-time buyers, growing families, downsizers, and people moving here from other parts of Canada and abroad. Every situation is a little different, so there's no script. I listen, ask questions, and help people sort through what matters most to them. My goal is simple: help people understand what they’re walking into and feel good about the choice they make.
