I'm originally from Oxford in the UK. In 2012, my ex left our relationship and brought our two young sons to South Africa. I followed them here.

Then I met my wife. We live in Somerset West with our twin girls, while co-parenting teenage boys, with my 'pestiferous' ex.

Blended family life is complicated, wonderful, and genuinely hard. We've wrestled difficult relationships, big life choices, and some really challenging financial decisions along the way.

I understand what you're carrying, because I'm living it too.

I've also spent nearly 40 years as a client-facing financial planning professional. A former CFP professional, who left the traditional financial services industry to do things differently - better!

The Financial Caddie® brings together personal and professional experience of blended family life, and the complexities of making financial decisions under significant pressure.
