A POA, Care Giver and Executor nine times in my personal life, and over 20 in my profession, I have walked in those shoes. Over 60 years of living, working and playing in Toronto and the surrounding area, I bring decades of experiences as a real estate broker, ownership (in whole or part) in several real estate companies- Keller Williams-  as well as years of dealing with seniors, their families and estates in these capacities.

A Master-ASA (Accredited Senior Agent) as well as a coach and trainer, in business and sports, I think like an entrepreneur, plan like a professional and act like a friend. My unique ability is compassion in identifying the key problem areas and offering several stress-free, fun solutions.

I have been named Executor for estates totalling over $15M.  I have settled estates in Canada and the US which involved selling property, liquidating assets and dealing with financial/investment accounts on both sides of the border while managing beneficiaries in over 10 different countries. I have recently launched a business, Estate Consulting www.estateconsulting.ca and Executor Help www.executorhelp.ca  to assist people named as Executor with the entire process of the estate administration.  I have worked in the financial services industry including brokerage, fixed income sales and trading and investment counsel for over 30 years.  I have an MBA in Finance and Real Estate from the University Of Michigan in Ann Arbor.  Since I have handled complicated estates I understand the financial issues as well as the time consuming nature of estate administration and would like to assist Executors with this important task.
