Investment Advisor

I was born in Toronto many years ago, and somehow ended up attending the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, Ontario, where I graduated with a BA in Economics and then went off to train as a pilot.

After a sufficient number of harrowing adventures, culminating with a stint as Search and Rescue command pilot on helicopters out of Comox, British Columbia, I decided to shift gears, dust off my degree, and find a safer way to earn a living.

I earned my insurance and securities licenses over 20 years ago, and feeling very uneasy about the implications of investing in stock markets that included manufacturers of land mines, nuclear weapons, and handguns, not to mention sweatshop labor and the like, I decided to focus entirely on socially responsible investment as a tool for my clients to match their values with their savings.

My passion is basketball, whether playing it, coaching it, or cheering on his beloved Toronto Raptors. I love pretty much anything to do with the outdoors – camping, gardening, boogie boarding in Tofino, cycling and skiing are favorites. I married my incredible wife Nicola on the Wild Pacific Trail outside Ucluelet. Hosting and cooking big family dinners are another favourite activity.

My core tenet is to treat everyone the way you would want to be treated yourself and I hope to leave the world at least a little bit better off than when I first arrived on the scene.
