Find a CEA

Independant Insurance and Investment Broker

I have been working in this business for 10 years.  As I journey with my clients I am seeing more complex estates and diverse families. I am a CEA advisor so that I can assist others to navigate some of these complex issues.

I have been in the Insurance and Finance business for over 20 years. My main focus is to help my clients deal with all the "What Ifs" in life that may occur and to help them stay on track for a well planned retirement. As well, help to provide a good grasp of the transfer of the estate when needed.
