I am a Senior Investment Advisor and Senior Portfolio Manager with over 20 years’ experience and I am a proud member of Pinnacle Family Wealth Advisory Group, a team of professionals comprised of Merissa Clarke, Jade Dallamore and Matt Sanborn. Together, we collaborate to understand our clients’ goals, value and priorities to develop a tailored plan to meet each client’s financial objectives.

We have successfully worked with a variety of clients from individuals and families to businesses and charities, using reputable scientific and academic techniques and strategies for wealth management and capital preservation. My investment advice goes beyond investment options, often delving into tax efficiencies, risk management, generational planning and estate planning, engaging TD specialists where needed.

I am passionate about engaging with clients to enhance their financial understanding and empower them to make informed decisions. I have shared my knowledge on national radio shows and in financial publications. My experience extends to serving as an adjudicator on the CIRO Hearing Committee and previously on our industry's self-regulatory body as a District Council Member, which aligns with my commitment to ethical financial practices. I have previously held positions as Branch Manager and Regional Manager at leading financial institutions.
