You are concerned with planning for the transition to retirement, how to best generate tax-efficient income during retirement, properly invest your nest egg, or deal with estate planning issues. 

My team and I will:
- listen to your story and come to understand you and your goals
- help document those goals with a written plan to achieve them
- design a structured action plan, implemented with discipline and consistency
- create and implement a stewardship cycle for your lifetime (quarterly meetings the first year, annual or semi-annual thereafter)

- respond as needed throughout the year to your calls and emails

My childhood dream was to be a teacher – to help people understand things and share the feeling they have when it happens. I loved showing people how to fix things and enjoyed puzzles and mystery novels. In college, I even took a course in Detective Fiction. 

As an adult, my dilemma was finding a domain that interested me while allowing me to exercise the need to solve problems and educate others. At Concordia University, I was fortunate enough to be chosen as one of eight students to study the first Canadian university full-year course in practical financial planning, and I was hooked. 

My clients now call me “The Explainer” – they come to me to understand their situation, and then feel comfortable, confident, and empowered in making life decisions. It’s an honor and a privilege to guide clients through a lifetime of critical financial events and decisions. I see myself as the captain of my clients’ ship – they depend on me to guide them on their life’s journey, providing the understanding they need to make critical decisions and helping them avoid mistakes that could jeopardize a successful outcome.

I grew up on Montreal’s West Island, and graduated Concordia University. After  backpacking in Australia for a year and then working in a financial planning firm in Montreal and Ottawa, I settled in Vancouver in 1995 and joined the firm’s founder, Jim Rogers, in his advisory practice. In 1999, I took over part of Jim’s practice as he was in the process of retiring, that same year meeting my wife-to-be, Linda. We married in 2002 and were blessed with twin daughters in 2005. Linda completed a Masters in Creative Writing in 2011 and a PhD in Psychology in 2022. She enjoys being a practicing counsellor and author.  Now that the kids are (mostly) out of the house, I enjoy reading, hiking, skiing, hockey, and woodworking.
