Strengthening your financial security

Welcome to my website

As a Financial Consultant with RBC Wealth Management, my mission is to work closely with my clients to assess their goals and help create a portfolio that gives them the kinds of returns consistent with their own risk tolerance. I work closely with my clients during the accumulation, income drawdown and eventual distribution of assets phases throughout their life cycles.

I provide advanced investment strategies to individuals who are seeking positive investment returns during periods of high volatility. Utilizing all asset classes, I work closely with each client to create a portfolio that provides them with diversification, measured risk, and continual guidance and support. Utilizing the resources of the Firm, I help manage both the asset and liability side of each client’s balance sheet so that they can leverage our favorable lending rates, while investing in the wide array of products and services available to them through Royal Bank of Canada which was named the 10th safest bank in the world by Global Finance magazine.

Many of my clients have been with me for more than ten years, and I have established relationships with them, their children and their grandchildren to insure a smooth transition of assets at the appropriate time, while maintaining the ideals of the original investor.
