My career in financial services began in the 1990s, with a summer internship at Bay Street's Midland Walwyn. After graduating from Wilfrid Laurier University with an Honours Bachelor in Business Administration (Finance Major, Psychology Minor), I began full time employment at Midland Walwyn, and over the next five years, built a successful business in Toronto.

In 2000, I returned to my hometown of Belleville to form a partnership with Quinte-based investment advisor Brian Knudsen. Long-time colleague and friend – Ian Clark - joined our partnership in December 2016. Today with the help of our highly experienced and professional service associates, we serve clients locally, across Canada, and around the world.

Our partnership works because of our common beliefs and our complementary skill sets. We take a holistic approach to financial management and consulting, working diligently to understand how our clients' finances relate to all the other aspects of their lives.

I enjoy quarterbacking the delivery of service and advice, drawing on the vast global resources of CIBC Wood Gundy, and CIBC World Markets.

I have strong ties to the Quinte area. I am currently a Member and Past President of the Rotary Club of Belleville, a Past President and Director of the Belleville Sales & Ad Club, a Director of the Belleville Club, and a past Executive Member and Chair of Belleville's Festival of Trees, and a Director of the Quinte Children's Foundation.

Outside of the office, I like to run, swim, cook, ski, and listen to a variety of music (but not necessarily in that order). Above all, I am proud to be the husband of Ann-Marie, and the father of three amazing kids; Padraigh, Kevin and Rachel.

I strive to do my best for my clients, my family and my community. I look forward to doing my best for you.

Ian has been with CIBC Wood Gundy and predecessor firms since 1995 following his studies in Biology at Wilfrid Laurier University. Ian is a certified discretionary Portfolio Manager and carries the CIM designation as a Certified Investment Manager. After 21 years with CIBC Wood Gundy helping affluent families, foundations and corporations with their wealth management in the Toronto and Oakville area, Ian moved to the Quinte branch in 2016 to join Brian Knudsen and Sam Brady, forming the Knudsen Brady Clark Advisory Group (KBCAG) which later became the Brady Clark Advisory Group with Brian's retirement.

Within the Brady Clark Advisory Group, Ian is responsible for managing client relationships and the direction of investment strategy. He understands the importance of client service and the Brady Clark Advisory Group's role as a client's trusted advisor, helping counsel clients through all challenges on their road to achieving their financial goals. While investment management is a key component of that task, so too is helping individual clients plan around tax and estate challenges as well as family business and wealth transition planning.

When not in the office Ian is an avid reader, golfer and fisherman and enjoys spending time with his family in their new home in the beautiful Bay of Quinte region.
