Investment Advisor
FMA
CIM®
FCSI®
I have been in the industry since 1994. Over the years, I have developed my knowledge base, experience and service capabilities to help business owners define and realize their vision for their wealth.
I began my career in Corporate Finance, followed by roles in private client wealth management, where I deepened my understanding of both high-net-worth wealth management and the financial challenges faced by business owners. I’ve been an Investment Advisor for 21 years, and came to TD Wealth Private Investment Advice to form Cooper Strategic Wealth Advisory in 2007. I now deliver comprehensive services for business owners, many of whom require guidance through the lifecycle of their business and transitions like retirement.
Among my educational and industry accreditations are some of the highest available to advisors: Canadian Investment Manager (CIM), Fellow of Canadian Securities Institute (FCSI®), Financial Management Advisor (FMA), and Certified International Wealth Manager (CIWM). I am also a Certified Retirement Specialist (CRS).
