Find a CEA

Growing up, my parents instilled the value and importance of saving. As a young man, portions of my allowance and wages were always put aside "for a rainy day". I was taught that hard work and discipline are an integral part of personal and professional success.

As a financial advisor, I have found a career that allows me to help others in a gratifying and productive manner. I believe that educating and explaining financial concepts is incredibly important for my clients, and I strive to make those concepts understandable. I hold the Certified Financial Planner® designation.

I enjoy getting to know my clients, understanding what they are trying to achieve, and creating a personalized plan to help them achieve their goals. Whether it's planning for retirement, saving for post-secondary education, or ensuring that loved ones are protected and taken care of, understanding my clients' goals and needs is my highest priority.

Our office serves clients all over Ontario. Whether you have recently moved to the Collingwood area or are a long-time resident, I would be happy to speak with you about your investment and financial needs.

Many of our clients are in Collingwood and the surrounding areas of Thornbury, Wasaga Beach, Stayner, The Blue Mountains, and Barrie.

When not in the office, I love to spend time with my wife and two daughters. One of our favourite past times is skiing together as a family in the Collingwood area.

As a Financial Advisor and former teacher with over 30 years experience int the financial industry, I believe the Certified Executor Advisor designation to be of great value to my existing clients and new clients moving forward. Losing a loved one is difficult enough without all of the recent changes to the Executor's duties and responsibilities.  Let me use my knowledge and experience along with my Educational background to help you.

In 1994, I traded in my hammer and saw for a new set of tools. After 10 years renovating homes, I embarked on a new career in financial planning. Renovating homes was rewarding, but I couldn't face the prospect of working through yet another cold Canadian winter. So I set off to Toronto to learn my new trade and even though the environment couldn't have been more different, the lessons I had learned in the previous decade would be a huge benefit in the years to come.

The renovations I performed always involved tearing down existing structures. Opening up walls, highlights the benefits of careful planning and prudent construction. It's easy to work on a well-built home with a solid foundation. On the flip side, I saw many examples of shoddy building that led to modifications, cost overruns and missed deadlines. The reasons for the "tear down" were different for each job (structural problems, updating to code, or simply homeowners wanting a change). The tricky part was that until you opened up the wall, you were never entirely sure what conditions you were going to face. Once you busted through the dry wall, you had passed the point of no return. (A great way to learn problem solving skills)

In one of my current roles I help our clients "tear-down" their estate plans. Whether you know it or not, you already have an estate plan in place, and chances are it is not "exactly" what you want. The good news is that we don't have to bust any drywall to fix it. How can I be so sure that your estate plan needs to be renovated?

1) Structure - some plans simply don't accomplish what YOU want
2) Updating to code - taxes and laws change over time, your plans need to adapt
3) Life - has anything changed since your last estate plan (family, finances, feelings?)

I'm working on opening a new business. My goal is to support people working through the numerous tasks required to have affairs in order in case of incapacity or death.

I'm still trying to find a name for my company and working on marketing. Educating myself is key as well.

I have been working in the financial services industry since 1991 and I am the founder of National Wealth Management. My broad and diverse background in the industry has allowed me to enjoy a rewarding career while working on financial planning situations of virtually any level of complexity.

I strongly believe that for financial planning strategies to be truly effective, a very strong relationship must exist between advisor and client, with a high level of trust on both sides. I believe that the advisor must understand the client’s goals on a deep level, share in ideas, and then through consultation with them, create solutions that will ultimately allow them to help reach their desired financial destination. I have, along with my team, experienced tremendous success, benefiting immensely from sharing best practices and supporting each other both personally and professionally.

I was born and raised in Dartmouth where I still live with my wife Elena. I am the proud father of four wonderful children. I am passionate about the outdoors, spending much of my free time traveling, sailing, and hiking with my family throughout the world. I am passionate about the arts and building a bright future for my community.

I have made it a goal of National Wealth Management to donate a minimum of one percent of profits to non-profit, charitable, and community organizations each year. As well, I am focused on drawing on my considerable experience and diverse background to consult with and help socially and environmentally-conscious businesses succeed.
