If you’re looking for someone with surgical attention to detail and the stamina to see a project through to the finish line, Michael is your man. Joining Thriving Wealth in early 2026 as an Associate Adviser, Michael works closely with the team to ensure every client journey is seamless. He brings a level of discipline and focus to the office that is truly second to none.

Michael’s work ethic is forged on the mats; by evening, he is a dedicated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) practitioner and coach. Despite his long list of competitive wins, Michael maintains a "team-first" mentality. He understands that while BJJ might look like a solo sport, success is built on the cooperation and grit found in the dojo—a philosophy he applies daily when strategising for our clients.

Proud of his Aussie-Assyrian roots, Michael brings a soulful, dedicated energy to the team. To unwind from his high-intensity training, he enjoys the quiet strategy of a single-player video game or the classic comfort of a Seinfeld marathon. He is known for leaving no stone unturned to ensure the best possible outcome for his clients—though he does have one known weakness: offer him the right dessert, and his tough "black-belt" exterior melts away instantly.
