My career has been spent tracking and looking after the personal and business financial affairs of my clients, primarily small to medium sized business owners and managers.  That responsibility extends to the beneficiaries of their life long work.  For both them and their families, having someone at their right hand with a personal, comprehensive and confidential connection to all of their financial affairs, can be the best gift of all.  What needs to be done, by whom, and when.  And the best time to arrange all of that, is now.

I have been working in the financial services industry for over 20 years. My business is primarily focused on retired and almost retired individuals. I specialize in helping widows find their way through the maze of an estate. I create long term relationships while utilizing a Holistic Planning model which helps people accumulate, grow, and preserve their wealth.  As an independent adviser my solutions are unbiased. I use a wide range of products and services that are specifically suitable to my clients situation.

We are a professional financial advisory firm specializing in retirement and estate planning.

We spend the necessary time with each of our clients to understand their biggest priorities, deepest concerns and what they value most in life. As an independent, objective planning firm, we have the ability to provide our clients with the advice and financial solutions most suited to their individual needs.

As a Certified Financial Planning Professional, a Chartered Life Underwriter and Certified Health Specialist, I am committed to life-long learning and the ongoing professional development needed to meet the changing needs of my clients.

We are regularly involved in assisting clients who have lost a loved one and are overwhelmed with the duties and responsibilities they face as an executor or executrix. The changing landscape within the estate administration process for people in Ontario has created newer and greater challenges than ever before and I have made the commitment to become a Certified Estate Advisor in or to be of even greater assistance to my clients.

I have served as an Executive Director and Managing Director of Christian Charities in both the United States of America and Canada. I have been involved with development since 1988. My full-time employment has been in Christian Camp ministries since 1981, where I have served with the Salvation Army, the Southern Mennonite Camps Association in the United States and with Countryside Camp and Conference Centre, the summer home of "Camp Shalom" here in Canada. I volunteered in development with the Gideons International for the state of New Jersey for over six years. As faithful stewards, each of us has been entrusted with assets that when managed properly may have the potential to multiply exponentially, impacting the lives of our loved ones, our friends, our churches, and chosen charities in a positive manner. I am here as a Certified Executor Advisor to serve you and your estate executor in facilitating your legacy. 

I use a comprehensive holistic approach, developing an overall view of your family's financial picture that encompasses your values, future milestones, and goals. We then use that overview to craft a personalized plan specifically tailored to your unique objectives . Once you have set your goals and have your “financial roadmap” in place, I then check in with you regularly to help you keep your plans on track.

Through twenty years in the industry, I have successfully guided my clients through some of the most challenging financial markets in decades, and supported them through crucial life events. My clients benefit from my high standard of care and expertise, through proactive planning and management.
