Simon Fox and his wife on a canal bridge in Burano, Italy

I’m Simon, one of Sow’s founders. My other love is health, and it translates directly to money: the same small, consistent habits that keep a body strong are what build financial strength too. I’m genuinely passionate about getting this right for people. Come the weekend, the phone goes off and the time belongs to my wife. Steady, intentional, in it for the long run — that’s how I do finance, and life.

Harrison O'Connor hiking with a pack in the tussock hills

I’m Harrison, one of Sow’s founders. Before financial advice I had a few lives: the car industry, outdoor instructing — rock climbing, hiking, kayaking — and disability and social support work with children who’d been through the prison system, faced serious accidents, or were born with disabilities. That work taught me to meet people exactly where they are, and it’s how I give advice too. Off the clock, you’ll find me outdoors or trying yet another cafe.

Mason Murphy in the Sow Financial studio

I’m Mason. Raised here in Christchurch, I joined the Sow Financial family because I love helping people — especially enabling my generation to get ahead despite the uncertainty around us. I’m a year into financial advice, and I’m already convinced that seeing people become financially free will never grow old on me. Outside of advising, I love anything with a bit of competition — sports, team events, the occasional game of Coup in a team meeting — and exploring this beautiful country.

JB Rawls with his wife and newborn son

I’m JB Rawls. I came to financial advice after 20-plus years in the military and as a PE teacher, where I learned to break big goals into achievable steps and coach people through the hard yards. As a husband and dad of four, I know what it means to protect what you’ve worked for. Off the clock, you’ll find me outdoors or on the sports field. My promise is simple: honest, clear advice built around your real life.
