You have financial questions for me?
With Canadians living longer, healthier lives and retiring earlier, it’s never too soon to begin planning for what’s ahead. The right financial advisor will help you feel more confident about your goals for the future and adapt to any changes you encounter without additional financial stress.
The first step is getting to know you. I want to learn more about what’s important to you in both the short and long term so you can enjoy your life now and later. By taking you through a structured process, I’ll help put your financial fears to rest by ensuring you and your family are protected against things like unexpected illness or income loss due to common health issues like heart attack, cancer and stroke. I’ll also work with you to establish trust and implement investment and insurance strategies you can feel confident will help you reach your savings and spending goals.
About me: In my personal time, you can find me out on the golf course, lake-side at my family cottage, or enjoying time with my wife, family and friends.
I’m looking forward to helping you live your best life.

I became a financial advisor in 2020. I was attracted by the opportunity to help people. I’m able to provide unbiased recommendations and services tailored to my clients’ needs.
From day one, I received ongoing support from my financial centre, my sales manager and the network. My practice is always evolving for the better and being part of the network expands my service offering. I’m at a place where I can help my clients and their families achieve financial security.
I also feel the flexibility that this career affords me will come in handy when I’m ready to start my own family. As an independent financial advisor, I’m very happy with where I am. I’ve found my purpose here.

My professional practice is characterized by the values I hold dear:
- Integrity and loyalty
- Availability and independence

I bring these values to every relationship in my practice.

I've completed the necessary licensing requirements and always pursue professional skills and training so that I can put the latest industry knowledge to work for you. Desjardins Financial Security Independent Network ensures strict adherence to professional standards, obligations and regulations.
I decided to work under the banner of Desjardins Financial Security Independent Network, one of the largest distribution networks of financial products and services in Canada, because I have access to many different financial companies. This allows me to make objective recommendations that are best suited to you and your situation.
Desjardins Financial Security Independent Network is a partner of Desjardins, the leading cooperative financial group in Canada, which gives my network proven financial stability and unmatched support.
Research has shown that there's real value in financial advice and that it provides an undeniable advantage to investors.

- Households that have an advisor have 2.1 times more financial assets than households that don't2.
- Investors that have an advisor are more confident and more likely to have a comfortable retirement if they've received financial advice for at least 10 years3.
