Find a CEA

Having enjoyed a successful accounting career within the Financial Services Industry, I feel privileged to be able to walk so many Bereaved Families through the many tasks expected of them as Executors.

My greatest satisfaction comes from all the thank-you letters I receive for having made the entire Executor process  into a journey they can "actually feel proud to have completed".

I have often been told that the older you get the faster time goes and that statement is starting to really ring true. As I reflect on 20 years partnering with families and individuals working towards their goals and what is important to them, there is one thing that has remained consistent - nothing can replace genuine personal relationships and service.

My Branch Office Administrator, Robyn, and I, have been blessed with a fantastic group of families that we are fortunate to take care of. We are honoured when two or three generations of a family all place their trust in our office and we get to celebrate family successes, or at times, help fight through those tough moments. We value our relationships deeply and always do what is in your best interest.

I am blessed with a wonderful wife of 20 years and three children. We spend our time in the winter at the local hockey or ringette rink and in the summer at the baseball diamond or a lacrosse field. We enjoy travel together and time with friends and family.

We would love to have a coffee with you and get to know how our office can help you work towards your personal and financial goals.

As a Certified Financial Planner and now a Certified Executor Advisor, I have made a commitment to serving my clients as best as possible and I am continualy  looking for ways to improve on this. 
Having a dedicated associate, allows me to spend my time having deep conversations and understand what's truly important to my clients.  This then helps to put a detailed, personal and actionable plan in place to help our clients achieve their goals and fulfill their purpose.  Even in some cases aligning their investment portfolio with their values. 

Being independent from a large corporation allows me to act transparently and without bias toward any product which allows me to access the best fitted solution for my clients. 

I look forward to the opportunity to meet you.
