As a married father of three, and a homeowner, he understands the everyday needs, concerns, and uncertainties facing young families both today and in the future. He has also had an eye towards his own retirement, and with a large number of his clients either in or approaching retirement, has spent an large portion of his career to date helping these clients navigate through this complex time in their lives. This has given him both the experience and knowledge to advise in this area with confidence and wisdom.

Tim believes that “knowledge is power”, and set a goal early in his career to attain relevant professional designations and further his financial education. He completed the education requirements and obtained the Certified Financial Planner® (CFP®) designation as well as the Canadian Health Insurance Specialist (CHS) designation in the summer of 2011. These designations show his commitment to both his clients and his education, and give him the ability to confidently advise his clients. The next designation Tim is looking to attain is the Charter Life Underwriter (CLU), which he hopes to begin later this year.
