Chris is a qualified lawyer who has been advising people on legal, business, and financial related matters since 1989. As a litigation solicitor he helped the general public as well as a number of high profile corporate clients but Chris yearned for more freedom than a lawyers’ corner office offered.
He decided to experience the business world outside of law and established a career with a Management Consulting firm getting to look up close at the inside of many of New Zealand’s top businesses.
Combining his legal and consulting backgrounds Chris ventured out on his own owning and operating a number of successful businesses and today practices as a Success Coach through his thriving business, Zag Leverage.
Chris’ goal is to share his years of business and financial information only with those who are motivated to learn how to become firstly financial secure then financially independent and finally financial free.
This is a journey Chris understands first hand after working hard and doing ok for many years. However it wasn’t until a near death experience, when he was run over by a car as he walked on a pedestrian crossing ,that Chris really understood the importance of financial security.
After, selling his business because he couldn’t work and with no government assistance as back up, Chris decided to get his financial house in order. If anything happened again his family would be looked after.
Three years later Chris was a millionaire with a six figure passive income and now a multimillionaire…
His goal is to give you the same sense of urgency to sort out your finances so you too can enjoy life without the painful life lesson along the way.
Chris is a business owner, property investor, share and options trader, multi-award winning success coach, speaker, and philanthropist. He’s a sought after guest speaker and has delivered his unique view on finances across New Zealand, Australia, the UK, America’s and Asia.
He is also the Co-Founder with his wife Fiona, of the 2Gether Foundation, a non-profit organisation providing micro-finance loans to New Zealand women aspiring to start a business, who otherwise may not have the opportunity.
