My wonderful wife Lyn and I have been together for 30 years. We are the proud parents of a very grown up daughter Cassandra, who was born the year I entered the business in 1984. Family has always been important to me as I grew up in the diplomatic service. During my parents service in the diplomatic corp the one constant was my family. My parents always ensured that no matter where we were, we would visit my Grandparents farm in our home province of Saskatchewan.

I relished the new places we visited and yet was greeted with hospitality and friendship by stranger we met, a lesson my family taught me and one reinforced by my experience.

For the past 27 years I have been a financial advisor and still appreciate my good fortune to be dealing with so many nice people.

Community activity and charitable work was a duty strongly held by my parents and one that I am proud to carry on. Cangames and the Alexander Games Club are two committees I am involved in an organizational and management capacity for well over 3 decades. St. Andrew's Church has been my home since 1975 when I joined at the age of 15. For many years I have had the pleasure, honour and hard work of acting in many capacities. 9 years as Treasurer, 6 years as Chair of the Temporal Committee, 18 years a Chair or Co-Chair of the Membership Committee and 18 years serving my District as and Elder. This also gave me the chance to be parity Elder to the Presbytery and to work for 6 years as Chair of the Finance Committee of Presbytery. In addition I have worked for the last 9 years as Treasurer and Board member to Camp Bitobi representing our denomination.

The years have also given me the opportunity to be involved in the education side of our business teaching The CSC and other industry courses as well as having taught the Intelligent Investing level 1 and 2 for the CSI and presenting for Investor Days for the CSI.

We look forward to helping you and your family.
