RIAC, Responsible Investment Advisor
I provided financial planning and wealth management advice specifically tailored to personal and professional needs and priorities. I work with you to help develop clear objectives and achievable goals, while delivering the peace of mind you and your family are looking for.
I have over twenty years of working in the field of socially responsible investing. Working closely together with my clients, I build custom portfolios based on the social and environmental values that they wish to incorporate into their overall investment strategy. I have previously served on the RIA board for nine years and was President and Chair for over three years. There has been tremendous growth in this area lately and there are many more options to choose from ..not all choices are the same. I look forward to working with new clients to achieve their financial goals and dreams through responsible investing.
I bring my clients peace of mind by creating a clear, actionable strategy that allows them to meet their goals.
Whether our goals are accumulating wealth, or drawing a retirement income from life savings, I help navigate the complexities of the financial world, and the unpredictability of all stages of life.
There are many financial decisions to make throughout your life. I help my clients make the right ones.
Our business is rooted in impact and legacy. I invest with a purpose, and our team is perhaps best known for our institutional, “smart money” approach to investment management. We work with executives, families and private foundations across Canada and the USA to build, preserve and protect client capital.
If our purpose-led investment approach is our why, then our client servicing is our how. Your satisfaction is of the utmost importance to us. We pride ourselves on being proactively accessible to the individuals we work with 24/7, so you can focus on furthering your success and building your legacy.
For us, delivering outstanding service is as paramount as outstanding investment results.

I have been working in the financial industry since 2000. I work with generations of clients in a holistic way, factoring in their short term as well as their long term needs. I am licensed with several life insurance companies and specialize in segregated investment funds. These investments are especially attractive for my older clients who are interested in estate planning due to Maturity and Death Benefit Guarantees and possible bypassing of probate.
I am passionate about Responsible Investments; it is so gratifying for me to work with clients who share my passion to take steps to make the world a better place for themselves and for future generations. Responsible investments apply negative screens as well as positive screens using shareholder advocacy to promote positive environmental, social or governance changes.
Segregated funds are offered by Financial Horizons Group, my Managing General Agency, Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with segregated investments. Please review the Information Folder before investing.
