The cornerstone of my work is the strength of the personal relationships I develop with clients. With a rock-solid foundation and a disciplined planning process, my team and I are able to bring simplicity to each clients' unique goals - enabling them to take control of their journey to financial independence.
In 1997, I graduated from Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, BC with a Bachelor of Arts degree (Economics). My keen interest in finances led me to BCIT where I received a Diploma of Technology (Financial Management) in 1999. Soon after graduation, I began my career with RGF Integrated Wealth Management.
I am a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) and have been since 2003, so you can be sure I provide expert and professional financial planning services. To earn the CFP designation, I had to complete an approved educational program, pass a rigorous examination and meet stringent experience requirements. I also adhere to a professional Code of Ethics and fulfill annual continuing education requirements to remain current with planning strategies and financial trends.
I was born and raised in BC and married my high school sweetheart, Nikki, who is a family physician. We live in North Burnaby with our two young daughters, Claire and Lindsay. Outside of the office, I am an avid road cyclist and I have been able to combine my passion for cycling with my passion for the BC Cancer Foundation and cancer research. Every year since its inception (2009), I have participated in the Ride to Conquer Cancer, a 2-day cycling journey to raise money for the BC Cancer Foundation.
