After passing leadership of Innova to the next generation, I’ve spent the past decade dividing my time between various leadership roles, and exchanging money for time. Time to spend with my family, friends and for my other passions.

I hope I now have the experience and money to have a bigger impact over the next 30 years, than the last 30 (when I started with neither!). That is why I created Livebigger.
I’m thrilled to be on this new adventure with you!

This, briefly, is how I got here.…

Childhood

You get your skillset at school but you get your mindset at home. Fortunately, my early years were guided by powerful role models that laid the foundations for Livebigger’s habits 1, 2 & 3.

My dad was a family doctor, and the embodiment of commitment and passion in work, and resilience in adversity.

Personal and Family

Wherever I focused, my life was great. Over the years, I learned to apply the habits across all 7 spheres of my life so that I give my best to everything that matters.

Two wonderful sons, 29 and 27 from my first marriage. Deep thanks to my ex-wife.

A 5-year-old son and a wonderful fiancée - a life coach whose wisdom has been instrumental in shaping Livebigger.

Several passions, from blues piano, singing and dancing, to snowboarding and yacht racing.

Amazing friends – love, growth and sheer fun!

Big Setbacks

The big setbacks in my life forged my biggest leaps forward.

My dad died at 42, when I was 9. From that day I’ve been on a mission to make the most of my life, and make every precious day count.

Not all of my businesses have been successful, and it’s those instances which made me better at what I do.

I became Type 1 diabetic at 35 and I’m in great shape today because of it (not in spite of it).

My first marriage didn’t last. Were it not for that, there would be no Livebigger.
