Rod’s specialization is those clients nearing and in retirement with extensive experience working with widows, widowers and those planning a retirement for one.  These clients often require thoughtful retirement and estate planning tailored to their specific needs and tax circumstances.   As a Portfolio Manager, Rod offers his clients discretionary management of conservative growth and income portfolios.  For this comprehensive wealth management, Rod's minimum portfolio size is $1,000,000 per client household. 


Professional Background

Rod graduated, with distinction, from the University of Victoria with a Bachelor of Commerce degree in 1996.  Soon after graduation, he began his financial services career at a leading Canadian chartered bank, and became an Investment Advisor in 2000.   He holds two prestigious designations available to Canadian Investment Advisors. They are the Fellow of the Canadian Securities Institute (FCSI) and Certified International Wealth Manager (CIWM). 

The FCSI designation recognizes individuals who bring a rare combination of education, ethical training and experience to their firm and their clients’ businesses.   The Certified International Wealth Manager (CIWM) is comprehensive program to serve the unique needs of affluent Canadians through; Advanced Investment Strategies, Advanced Retirement Management Strategies, and Advanced Estate Planning and Trust Strategies.

Rod works in concert with a team of specialists within TD Bank Group who specialize in wealth protection and insurance solutions, estate planning and trust services and charitable giving strategies.  He also works seamlessly with his client's other professionals outside of TD.  

Personal Background

When not in the office, Rod enjoys regular exercise, most often competing in kettlebell lifting and taking part in various classes at his gym.  As a passionate motorcyclist, and when the time permits it, he enjoys touring the west coast of Canada and the U.S.A.  Perhaps most of all, he relishes the company of his old dachshund, Hugo.
