Finance Broker
Tell us about the Buddii story, when it first began and how it has grown?
I started at Buddii in December 2025. Coming from a dealership and using 3 lenders to now having over 40 at my disposal has been a journey to learn them all. While I’m still learning about some lenders we don’t use often, it’s been a fun journey. I have made some great new friends in this workplace, and I think I have found a workplace like no other before.
Why are you passionate about the finance industry?
Helping customers achieve something they might not have thought possible is always super rewarding, the excitement they get when you call to say the loan has been approved or settled. i enjoy the start to finish process and building connections and relationships with my customers.
Why is Buddii the best in the business?
Buddii has the best culture in the business; you don’t see many other brokerages out there making sure they have your best interest in mind
Tell us about the Buddii team?

Quickfire Round!
What do you do like to do in your spare time?
Typically, I’d say the gym, but lately, it’s been more video games and spending time with my kids.
Do you have any pets?
I have 2 French bulldogs named Memphis and Moose.
Favourite holiday destination?
Honestly, I haven’t been on a holiday in so many years, my next desired holiday location is Japan.
Spirit animal?
If you ask AI probably a wolf or a bear. HAHA, I like to think a bear is more accurate—calm, patient, protective. I enjoy solitude, I act only when necessary but am formidable when I do. Wold – protector, loyal, thinking before acting instead of making impulsive decisions. I enjoy peaceful forests and mountains, social but so comfortable with quiet moments and strong bonds.
If you could have a super power what would it be?
Typically, I’d say flight, but I think I lean more towards mind reading now haha
