Anthony brings over 25 years of experience in the financial services industry to the team. He has developed a deep rooted connection with his clients focused on goal-based and legacy planning. With an emphasis on understanding family and work place balance, Anthony incorporates the team's VSI Wealth Plan process to help clients achieve their financial and personal goals.
After completing his undergraduate degree from Simon Fraser University, Anthony embarked on his career in the financial service industry in 1991. During this initial period, he earned his Level II Insurance License from the Insurance Council of British Columbia and he is a Life Insurance Advisor with TD Wealth Insurance Services. He focuses on building customized solutions tailored to each individual’s unique needs and circumstance – balancing investment needs with estate planning needs.
Anthony has incorporated this outlook on a personal level. He wakes up daily at 4:00am and commutes by bicycle from his home in Burnaby. He returned to his old neighborhood 10 years ago to raise his four children along with his wife. By sacrificing a little sleep, he has been able to balance a busy work and family environment while looking after his mental and physical well-being. Spending time traveling with his family and seeing parts of the world has made him appreciate the simple things in life and how fortunate we are to live and work in Vancouver.
VSI Wealth Management Group is a part of TD Wealth Private Investment Advice, a division of TD Waterhouse Canada Inc. which is a subsidiary of The Toronto-Dominion Bank.
