As a Certified Executor Advisor, I work with a team of specialists to help clients realign their financial expenditures to protect what matters most in the areas of estate, wealth and financial planning.

I have worked extensively in the areas of business development and practice management.  Since 1981, I have worked across Canada in the financial services industry as a product and marketing specialist, customer service representative and small business consultant where I helped independent advisors, entrepreneurs, and clients achieve their business and personal financial objectives.  I joined HUB Financial, (the largest Financial and Insurance Brokerage in North America), in 1998 and as Regional Vice President, successfully developed the Prairie Region into one of the most successful regions in the country.  Also, I was involved in the initial planning and implementation of HUB's mutual fund dealership, HUB Capital Inc.

I have served on many industry focus group panels and corporate strategic planning initiatives.  I have served on the executive board for Advocis, the Canadian Association of Financial & Insurance Advisors.  In addition to my professional affiliations, I stay active in my community and was one of the founding directors of the Kiwanis Club of Calgary Metro.

Over the last 7 years I've had the privilege of being able to pursue my passion, which is helping people with their financial needs. I take great delight in building lasting relationships with clients; supporting them with their financial needs by providing financial advice, and helping them establish a financial plan that will enable them to achieve their goals. I am thrilled to now offer specialized advice to executors that will help them navigate the responsibilities of managing an estate.  

I began my career in banking and accounting, and established several companies: insurance brokerages, pension and employee benefit consulting firms, as well as estate planning consulting companies.  My career has taken me to the boardroom and kitchen tables.  My experience in corporate and personal finance has led me to consult on exit strategies for my clients and their companies.

Though my work in estate and financial planning, I have been a speaker and chairman of seminars on estate preservation and charitable giving. A Co-founder of the Halifax Estate Planning Council.  My clients knew me as a trusted financial advisor who delivered creative financial solutions to their complex financial challenges.  I performed for my clients as 100% independent of any financial company, enabling me to offer the best possible advice based on their unique needs.

My work in the estate planning field has led me to now focus on Funeral Pre- Planning, "The Missing Link in Estate Planning"  I now am associated with JA Snow Funeral Home in Halifax (Dignity Memorial, largest funeral provider in North America)  I am a pre- arrangement advisor, counselling families on the important decisions that must be made at an emotional and difficult time in their lives.

My financial background, and knowledge of financial products, bodes well for working with other advisors on independent executorships.

I'm a partner with the firm Lifelong Financial Solutions. We offer full financial planning services specializing in insurance planning, retirement planning, and estate planning. Our goal is to help clients develop sound financial plans that enable them to meet their goals and aspirations through every stage of life.
