For 10 years, I have skillfully helped individuals to preserve and grow their capital. I have also built and managed several top-performing brokerage offices for two major Canadian financial institutions. As an Associate Portfolio Manager at Blackmont Capital Inc., I am qualified to advise on a discretionary basis, a distinguishing credential I possess which gives me a clear advantage over many of my peers. In this capacity, I have developed detailed model portfolios to satisfy a range of client preferences using my disciplined investment approach.

I have attained my MBA in Finance from Laurier University; a Post-Graduate Diploma in Investment Management from Concordia University; a Bachelor of Arts Degree (Hons.) from York University; my Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designation; my Fellow of the Canadian Securities Institute (FCSI) designation; and my Canadian Investment Manager designation (CIM).

My interest in investing carries over into my volunteer work. As a member of the Urban Financial Services Coalition (UFSC), I provide financial education, mentoring, advice and access to underprivileged children. I am also involved in the Investment Advisory Committee of the Ministry of the Attorney General for the Province of Ontario for the Office of the Guardian of the Public Trustee. The government is entrusted with several billion dollars, funds that have been bequeathed to, and are used to, support orphans and elderly individuals without families. Our committee is the voting panel that regulates the Investment Advisors who manage these funds on behalf of the province.
