Experience That Matters

My Real-Life Motivation

I promised myself that I would do everything I could to help others so they wouldn’t find themselves in a similar situation.

My best friend Rob was diagnosed with Liver, Lung, and Lymph Node Cancer. He was 33 years old. He had a successful career and a wonderful family. He lost everything. In the end, he and his family were living in the basement of his grandmother’s house. All of them living off her meager CPP and OAS. And there was nothing I could do.
That’s why I’m in the Insurance business. I don’t want your family to ever go through that kind of heartbreak. I do everything I can to help other people avoid catastrophes like Rob’s.

I want to be your Insurance guy.

Planning Your Business Insurance Needs

Fireside Chat

Planning Your Business and Insurance Needs for the Year Ahead will examine how changes in corporate structure, ownership, and compensation impact insurance requirements; when corporate-owned insurance can be used strategically in tax and financial planning; and the role insurance plays in supporting succession and exit strategies.
