Helping people start a new life in New Zealand

I’ve been a licensed immigration adviser for over a decade and I’m the owner of Compass Immigration. Before that, I’ve had over 30 years of top management positions in Finance, Operations and self-employment.

This range of experience has helped me to forge long-lasting relationships with individual and corporate clients alike and helps my clients make informed decisions, usually with successful outcomes. I like to think my ethical, honest and no-nonsense approach also ensures that hasty and potentially flawed decisions are avoided.

Because of the ever-changing landscape of immigration laws, there’s never a dull day. There are always new policy changes to keep abreast of, and the challenge of getting “tough” cases over the line is what motivates me.

When I’m not working I enjoy spending time with my family. I like touring the country and discovering new destinations on my motorcycle, fishing in the gulf and weekends away on the family boat.
