Starting his career in England in 1998 he gained experience at Arthur Andersen before joining Pitcher Partners Investment Services in Melbourne in 2002. In his time at Pitchers Simon built a loyal client base of high net worth individuals, retirees, wealth accumulators, business owners, and charitable organisations.

Outside of work, Simon is kept busy ferrying his two boys to various sports and activities. He loves getting involved in the local community, be it through school or the Murrumbeena Junior Football and Cricket clubs, playing sport himself or (very occasionally) relaxing with his family and friends.
