The relationships with my clients are built on a foundation of trust. I work with Canadians who are already retired or approaching retirement. Creating diversified investment portfolios and generating tax-efficient retirement income are my two main areas of specialization. My clients trust that the advice and strategies I recommend are done with their best interests in mind.
I was born and raised in Vancouver and have been an avid investor for more than 20 years. I graduated with a degree in Finance from the Sauder School of Business at UBC in 2009.
When I'm not reading about investing, you can usually find me playing sports (baseball in the summer, hockey in the winter) or in the kitchen, cooking for my friends and family.
Working alongside Bryn Hamilton and Anthony Ma ensures that we maintain a unique perspective. Our collaborative approach allows for areas of specialization while providing you with comprehensive team-based wealth management solutions.
