Senior Portfolio Manager, Senior Investment Advisor

As a Winnipeg-based Investment Advisor with BMO Nesbitt Burns, I began my career in 1995. I was educated at the University of Manitoba graduating with a Bachelor of Commerce degree with Honors. I have continued my education to attain a number of designations that allow me to provide my clients with discretionary portfolio management and financial and retirement advice.

I have many roles in my life that I hold very near and dear to my heart. Married since 1998 to my beautiful wife Jessica whom I share 3 wonderful children with. A former Big Brother, I have taken a leadership role with the Canadian Friends of the Hebrew University and have also chaired in the men's division of Youth Aliyah for Hadassah Wizo. I am a former "Team Leader" (supporter in the Pathfinder Category) with the United Way Charity and a former board member with the Congregation Etz Chayim. In my spare time I enjoy playing sports and coaching within my community.
