The best teacher we have in life is our history. I am the culmination of my past experiences — a reflection of all that I’ve learned through good times and bad.
My History
I was born in the Edmonton, Alberta area, and I truly consider this home. I love this city, and I’m excited for its opportunities of growth, community, and leadership. Best of all, Edmonton is a big city with a small-town feel.
Growing up on a small farm and working for the family construction business taught me how to work hard and smart. I started in my teens and worked from the bottom up.
Throughout my early 20’s, I built my own capital reserves by privately purchasing and managing Alberta-based real estate and participating in the Western Canadian Road Building industry.
After a short break, I decided it was time to try something new. I wanted to cultivate and continue growing my knowledge of business in other avenues. As a result, I left my real estate ventures and the road building industry in 2007.
My Work
Since I loved business and working with people, I began to investigate many different career options. It didn’t take long before I was approached with the idea of joining a local Financial Planning firm. I knew right away the opportunity was a perfect match.
I loved sharing my creativity and the business strategies I discovered throughout my life. Financial planning provided the platform to share these ideas and strategies on a full-time basis.
In 2007, I obtained my insurance license and in 2010, I was among the first Private Wealth Advisors in Alberta to receive my Exempt Market Dealing Representative registration.
I firmly believe learning is something that happens every day. Therefore, I strive to stay informed about economic factors that influence my clients’ future. Furthermore, I am registered and licensed to do business in the province of Alberta.
My Community
On a personal level, I believe in being an active member of the community and giving back where I can.
I have been involved in a diversity of community-minded organizations and projects. These include mentoring young entrepreneurs, advocating for those with Celiac Disease, working with youth through multiple organizations, and mentoring local small businesses.
I now have three beautiful children of my own and they are my fuel to succeed.
