My father was the inspiration for my career in the financial services business. He enjoyed a very successful career in the life insurance business and became the youngest president of a life insurance company in Canada (and still holds this distinction). Our paths varied quite dramatically with the sophistication of planning solutions and product choice - but the underlying reason of why I do what I do is the same:  a passion for securing the financial future for families, their businesses, and their charities of choice for generations.  

Knowledge, professionalism, leadership, courtesy, empathy, lightheartedness, and a sense of humour. 

I spend as much time as possible with my wife Andrea and my two adult children, doing anything they are up for. I enjoy mountain biking and waterskiing with my friends. Camping with family and friends is my happy place.
