Chris started in the banking industry in 2013 in a retail branch, then quickly joined the investment industry in 2014. With his thirst for knowledge and education, he quickly moved into a Client Associate role in 2016, after completing the Canadian Securities Course (CSI).  Since then, Chris has completed both the Conduct and Practices Handbook (CPH) as well as Wealth Management Essentials and is fully licensed as a Registered Representative to help with all of our clients needs.


Having originally entered the banking industry based on his interpersonal skills, Chris takes pride in providing the absolute best level of service for each and every client.  His commitment to offering prompt service when responding to client requests, combined with his never ending positive attitude are but a few reasons he is so much appreciated by our clients.


Always forward thinking, Chris continues to take in the knowledge and expertise of his colleagues, as well as the Canadian Securities Institute, while pursuing a more integrated role and responsibilities within the CIBC Wood Gundy team.
