I am a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and Managing Partner of Success Foundations Wealth Management in London, Ontario. With over three decades of experience helping families, professionals, and business owners, I focus on creating practical and personalized strategies for retirement, estate, and wealth transfer planning.

As a candidate for the Certified Executor Advisor (CEA) designation, my goal is to further support clients and their families through the often-complex estate settlement process. Executors are entrusted with a significant responsibility, and I believe they deserve clear guidance, empathy, and a trusted professional who can simplify the financial and administrative steps involved.

At Success Foundations, our team takes a holistic approach to planning. We use proven frameworks—including The Bucket Plan®, The Strategic Wealth Matrix™, and The Total Wealth Framework™—to ensure our clients’ financial, personal, and family needs are well balanced. We are dedicated to providing clarity, confidence, and continuity through every stage of life and legacy planning.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling with my wife and family, exploring new places, and living out the same values of balance and fulfillment that I encourage my clients to pursue.
