Growing up in small town Manitoba, I was taught to be competitive and hardworking at a young age. My childhood dream was to be a hockey player, and by implementing these small town values, I was able to land a full-ride hockey scholarship to New York State University. It was here that I got my first taste of big city life and quickly developed an interest in money and investments.
After obtaining my degree in finance, I knew I was destined for a different, potentially more fulfilling path that combines my small town values with experience, drive and education. I feel fortunate every day to have found a profession I love, am skilled at and that allows me to make a positive impact on people’s lives.
Financial decisions can be stressful and complicated, and as a Financial Advisor I feel that I have an incredible opportunity to enhance the lives of my clients and their families. Your nancial future will dictate your goals and your dreams, and I remain committed to all of my clients that I will work as hard as I can to make those dreams a reality.
I strive for constant improvement and have continued to advance my industry credentials by obtaining the Chartered Investment Manager (CIM®) designation. I believe my nancial experience in both Canada and the US give me a unique perspective on the securities industry in both countries and an advantage as a cross-border specialist.
I live in Vancouver, BC where I make sure to take advantage of the great outdoors. I am still an avid hockey fan and continue to lace up my skates as often as I can.
