Retaining key employees and attracting new employees
Ensuring you have the funds to buy a partner’s share at death or retirement
Supplementing retirement income for you and your spouse in a tax-effective way

Philosophy

Financial security planning is about more than just retirement planning – it’s about building a financial strategy that considers your immediate needs and your long-term goals and dreams.

I can:

Help you define what financial freedom means to you
Help analyze your current situation, goals and dreams
Help identify any roadblocks to achieving your goals
Work with you to build a financial security plan that considers your short- and long-term goals
Regularly review your financial security plan, ensuring it evolves with your changing needs

Life stages

I want to understand your needs, recognizing they may change as you proceed through life’s stages.

Early career

As you start your career, you may need:

Life and disability insurance to help cover your income or protect your ability to earn an income
Term life insurance or critical illness insurance as a cost-effective way to help cover an outstanding mortgage or debt
Health and dental insurance coverage, if your employer doesn’t offer a group benefits plan

Family

Children change your life and your needs. Now’s a good time to:

Review your financial security plan
Plan for your children’s education with options such as registered education saving plans (RESPs)

Business owner

If you own a business, you may want to:

Consider business continuation, buy/sell agreement funding and key person insurance as part of your business planning
Buy insurance to help cover outstanding business loans or mortgages if you die or suffer from a critical illness
Purchase a health and dental insurance plan
Consider group insurance options for your employees

Retirement

If you’re retired or plan to retire soon:

Insurance can help supplement your income or leave a legacy
Obtaining personal health and dental coverage can take over if your benefits through your employer end upon retirement

Advice that works for you
I offer expert advice that works for you now and in the future – because financial freedom should leave room for you to live. This means having control over your money and focusing on what matters to you, not just your pocketbook. I’m here to help you with every step, every decision and every success.

Through comprehensive analysis, in-depth market research and the support of a team of highly qualified product and tax specialists, I can help you achieve your financial freedom.

I’m a licensed financial security advisor specializing in life insurance, retirement savings and living benefits (including disability insurance, critical illness insurance and health plans). I’ve been in the financial industry since 2004.

I’m married with three children. I love spending time with my family and enjoy golfing when time permits.
