Roger has lived and worked in the central west of New South Wales for his entire life. Coming from a rural background allows Roger to better understand the complexities and issues surrounding our farmers and the local communities, which ultimately results in a better relationship and more beneficial advice. Roger’s strength lies in his open line policy with his clients who are made to feel comfortable to speak to him as often as necessary on any matter large and small. This relationship means that informed decisions are consistently being made in any stage of a client’s work life, business cycle, or even through retirement. Roger enjoys working with all clients from the small individual to the large business clients, from the clients starting their first job to those working towards or enjoying retirement.

When he isn’t in the office, you may spot Roger out with his Wife and 3 young children. Roger loves to leave his indoor job behind and spend time outdoors on the end of a fishing line, or on the fairways doing a poor impersonation of a golfer.
