Graham's long history in youth work may seem incongruous with a career in financial services but the synergy for Graham is that both roles involve problem solving with people. Velocity was born in 2003 out of Graham's interest in property investment and the desire to continue being self employed.
Between Youth work and Velocity, Graham launched and then sold a Graphic Production company that specialised in high end output for museums.
Grahams association and knowledge with successful residential property investors in Wellington is second to none.
His ability to think outside of the square is what makes his advice sought out and the concern for the well being of others drives his passion for Insurance.
Graham is the father of 2 boys, surfs and has run 2 marathons with more to come.

Rupert bought his first home and income property at age 21 by selling a brand new car he'd just won in a lottery. He used the income from that property to gain experience in the high-risk world of currency and equity trading.
After selling his digital printing business in 2008, he began working in a small Superannuation investment team... 3 weeks later, Lehman Brothers fell over and the Global Financial Crisis began. With just over $150million in retirement funds to invest in ultra-turbulent times, the fund outperformed the benchmark every year.
After 3 years working in the corporate world, Rupert decided it was time to get back to a face-to-face business and joined the team at Velocity Financial.
Rupert is an Authorised Financial Adviser, an avid volleyball player and is a member of Mensa.
