Omar believes that the cornerstone of wealth planning is recognizing that everyone’s financial life and personal situation is unique. He collaborates closely with clients to ensure they receive advice tailored specifically to their needs. This is why he views the discovery process as a vital step – getting to know people, their families or the structure of a corporation or foundation is key to truly understanding the scope of their goals.
Omar holds the Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and Chartered Investment Manager (CIM®) designations. He also holds the Certificate in Retirement Strategy.
He believes in a comprehensive model that covers the many different aspects of your financial life, from your investment portfolio to your retirement income and your estate plan, to your kids’ education. Omar believes in the value of sound investment advice and his professional life is embodied by the long‑term client relationships he’s built based on trust and communication.
Omar is an avid runner and has competed in several marathons over the years. He is driven by the discipline the sport requires and the spirit of the races he regularly competes in.

Charles developed an interest in investing at an early age and chose to study economics at Wilfrid Laurier University. He joined the wealth management industry as a young adult and explored a number of different roles in the banking and brokerage world. When Charles first became an advisor he found that, as the markets were an unpredictable and uncontrollable factor in asset management, he made the most impact when identifying and addressing the factors within his clients control. This includes focusing on where to best contribute savings, proper asset allocation and diversification, tax planning, etc.
Thus, his passion for financial planning began. He promptly began studying for his Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) designation and applied the fundamentals to his practice. He uses a holistic lens with each client relationship and leverages comprehensive tax, retirement, estate and risk planning to create a bespoke plan for each individual. He continues to hone his knowledge within these ever-changing spaces to ensure his clients are doing everything they should be to maximize tax efficient savings. He is particularly adept at developing creative solutions and navigating tax and saving strategies for professionals and other small business owners.
Before joining Northlake Wealth Management in 2022, Charles spent 9 years working with physicians and their families developing a deep knowledge of professional corporations and the tax planning that goes along with them. He continues to have a focus on healthcare professionals and other individuals that have the ability to incorporate.
Charles views his relationships with his clients as long term. He envisions working with his clients for decades to come and personally guiding them through their retirement. Charles enjoys watching the strategies he puts in place materialize in the progression of his client's situations over time.
Charles loves to spend his leisure time travelling and playing sports with his wife and three sons. He is an avid canoeist/tripper and takes every opportunity to guide his family into the wilderness for some valuable serenity.
