As a Senior Investment Advisor, with 17 years of experience at TD, my mandate is to help you preserve and grow your wealth though tailored investment solutions. Dedication to exceptional client experiences and innovative financial strategies are the foundations of our business. I will deliver proactive and personal advice, working closely with you to make key decisions about your portfolio that are in line with your goals.
Born and raised in Calgary, I possess a deep understanding of the nuances of living, working, and raising a family in Calgary. I'm a husband and father of three children (2 boys, 1 girl). I'm actively involved in our community as a passionate hockey fan. I enjoy playing, but also spend my time as a volunteer coach with our local hockey association, the NorthWest Warriors. Outside of TD, you can find me at the hockey rink, the dance studio, the golf course or anywhere else that keeps our family active.
I started my career at TD in 2007 and have been working closely with clients on a one-on-one basis for nearly two decades. I graduated from Mount Royal University with an Applied Degree in Financial Services and hold the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designation.
