I am the owner of a senior move management and estate dispersal company in Victoria, BC.  We assist executors with tasks such as shipping to beneficiaries, preparing the home for sale, dispersal/sale of remaining household contents and connecting them with other services they require such as realtors, appraisers, lawyers, yard maintenance, etc.

I advise members on retirement, estates, and wealth building. Helping them save on taxes, debt, and maximize growth efficiency.

a leading national MGA and has been a student of the industry for over 20 years.  He holds the CLU and CHS
Designations; and has experience working with clients, investment advisors,

For the past 20 years Rudy has been making an impact helping

I specialize in comprehensive financial planning, tax planning, estate planning, and life insurance planning, with a commitment to bringing clarity and confidence to my clients’ financial futures. My focus is on creating personalized strategies that empower individuals and families to achieve their goals through a clear, tailored roadmap.

I hold an Oil & Gas Technologist diploma from Texas Tech University (2011) and have earned key certifications, including the Investment Fund in Canada (MFDA) designation from the Canadian Securities Institute (2018) and the Life License Qualification Program (LLQP) from the IFSE Institute (2020). These credentials reflect my dedication to professional growth and to delivering expert, trusted financial advice.

One of my proudest career achievements is developing customized financial plans that instill confidence and peace of mind in my clients. Outside of my professional life, I take great pride in my family, finding joy in traveling together and raising active, sporty children. I also enjoy recreational baseball and embrace the thrill of snowboarding in the mountains.

My guiding philosophy is to “turn fear into excitement,” a mindset that fuels my passion for seizing opportunities and inspiring others to do the same. By combining technical expertise with a client-first approach, I strive to make a lasting, positive impact on the lives of those I serve.
