Tell us about your, um, journey into Hewison, uh, and sort of what shaped you.

Well, growing up, I, I had, had no idea that this is where I'd wind up.

Um, you know, like a lot of, uh, young blokes was pursuing a footy career, didn't, didn't quite get there.

Then started a commerce degree thinking I'd wind up in, you know, sport management, marketing, something along those lines.

Um, but in saying that, my father had founded Hewison Private Wealth back in 1985 and, um, you know, that always bubbled away in, in the background.

And I think actually, like my interest, my eventual interest in it sort of actually started, as I now think about it, was he used to come home after a long day, pour a scotch, and just chat about his day, and it used to be the best part of my day, sitting there with mom and dad and listening to some of his stories and, and just his passion for helping his clients.

And when I was at the crossroads, you know, early 20s, managing the surf shop, uh, I sort of said to him, "Hey, I'm not quite sure what I wanna do next.

Yep.
