When I reflect back on why I entered this field, the decision was largely impacted by my dad. He was a Credit Union Manager for over 40 years and taught me the importance of managing your money and saving for the future. I would often accompany him to work, get to go into the vault and watch him interact with colleagues and clients. I remember thinking, “Wow - my dad has the greatest job”. I suppose you could say from an early age, I developed an appreciation for saving money and helping others in their pursuits. Today, I feel fortunate to be the leader of an extremely talented team who is client-focused and committed to going the extra mile. Our philosophy is built on the fact that we want to support our clients with wealth management -- not just money management. This entails supporting our clients in finding a financial plan that works for them today, and also for their future.
In 2004, I joined RBC Dominion Securities. I have been fortunate to have great mentors throughout my career. I developed invaluable experience while working through two large recessions. My clients who are business owners and corporate executives say I am very relatable because I have experience from other industries too. I learned a lot while working in marketing for Budweiser and as a pharmaceutical sales rep for an international company. The finance industry was always the end goal which is why I attained my Bachelor of Business Administration – Marketing and Finance from the University of Regina, sought specialized training in high-level investment strategies and attained the Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) designation. At the firm, I am very proud to have been consecutively recognized for providing premium wealth advice, leading with integrity and always putting our clients first (5 consecutive years).
Growing up in a small town in Saskatchewan, I developed a passion for hockey. I played three years with the Moose Jaw Warriors and two years with the University of Regina Cougars. Sports have always been a true passion of mine and the skills I picked up on the ice have served me well in my professional life. Things like discipline, sacrifice, teamwork and working under pressure are at the core of my belief system. I am also a husband and a father to three very active boys. I’ve been coaching Ethan, Logan and Rylan in hockey and baseball and enjoying every moment of it! I love being a dad and hope to pass along many of the values that my dad instilled in me.
