A Legacy of Service

25 Years of Journeying Alongside People

Whether in a time of crisis or a season of growth, my work has always been about helping people navigate life’s transitions with clarity, dignity, and hope.

The Heart Behind the Planning

For over two decades, I served as a pastor and a police chaplain, walking with individuals and families through their most profound moments. These experiences taught me that true leadership is rooted in listening and integrity.

Today, as a licensed financial professional in North Bay, I bring that same protective, service-oriented mindset to your financial house. I don’t just manage accounts; I help you steward resources so they align with your deepest values.

Guided by Purpose

“Financial security isn’t the end goal—it’s the foundation that allows you to focus on your family, your community, and your mission.”

My Commitment to You

Empathetic Guidance

Money is deeply personal. Our conversations begin with your story and your concerns, ensuring the plan fits the person—not the other way around.

Radical Transparency

Decades of community service have taught me that trust is earned through honesty. You can expect clear, jargon-free communication at every step.

Community Focus

As a father of four and a local resident, I am invested in the long-term stability of North Bay and the families who call Ontario home.

When I’m not helping clients, you’ll likely find me out on Lake Nipissing—I’m an avid fisherman who finds great rest on the water. Most importantly, I cherish my life here with my wife, and our four children. It is a privilege to serve this community.
