Chris has been helping clients plan rewarding financial futures for almost 30 years. He began his career as an Investment Advisor with Wood Gundy in the years before it was purchased by CIBC, and then moved to Levesque Beaubien (later renamed National Bank Financial), where he was a Senior Advisor for over 18 years. Chris joined Blackmont to be part of an independent firm with an impressive organization and a vision of becoming Canada's premier investment boutique.

Chris is a Certified Financial Planner (CFP), as well as a Certified Management Accountant (CMA), which gives him an enriched understanding of corporate financial management. In addition, he is a Business Administration graduate from Ryerson Polytechnical Institute. His professional qualifications, combined with nearly three decades of industry experience, distinguish Chris from most Investment Advisors.

Chris has served as a member of the management committee for the Grand River Chapter of the Society of Management Accountants of Ontario, and is a current member of the Financial Planning Standards Council of Canada.
