About Me

Welcome to my personal blog, and thanks for dropping-by.

This is me relaxing with my wife, Limah.

I thought it would be nice to tell you something about me to give you an idea of who I am and where I fit in the world.

I have been working within the financial services industry since I came to Asia in 1993. In that time I have built up a considerable client base around the world. I travel extensively (at the invitation of clients and prospects) for personal interviews with people from all industries and of all nationalities.

My personal goal is: “To achieve complete financial freedom before I am sixty through helping others achieve theirs”.

Prior to my arrival in Asia I had a wide and varied career. After I left university (degree in Chemistry with Oceanography) I served as an officer in the British Royal Marines followed by work in engineering, sales, marketing and national account management in a range of industries (electrical, dairy and petroleum).

Following my arrival in Asia, my sons Matthew and Mark, came from the UK.  Matthew now works with the financial services industry in Singapore, Mark has his own Internet and Web Design company based in Kuala Lumpur.  Mark’s company, NI-Limits, is the one that designed and runs this site along with my secretarial services, telesales and database management.

Matthew’s wife Dulie brought our first new granddaughter, Sophia, into the world shortly after my 50th birthday. She is now three years old and a budding superstar.

Mark was married to Madeline during 2009 and we are now proud grandparents for the second time. Keira was born in March 2010.
I guess that means I may have to review my own retirement plans!

Hairul is son number three and he is now in his second year at University in Brisbane, Australia. Until he has finished his Business Studies Degree we have a perfect excuse to holiday on the Gold Coast. No grandchildren that we know of here.

Limah and I shall probably be staying in South-East Asia for the foreseeable future. After all these years I have developed a severe dislike of the cold weather and seasons in either north or south hemispheres. Give me the heat and humidity!

I hope this has given you the opportunity to know me a little better and that we can help each other fulfil our dreams for the future.

Stay in touch, I am always happy to hear from you.
