Drew joined the Brooks Barks Wealth Advisory team in the spring of 2018.  Prior to this, Drew was a Financial Planner at the Bank of Montreal here in Saskatoon.  It was quickly apparent that the BBWA model of outstanding client service, discretionary investment management, protection focussed investment philosophy, and the almost limitless breadth of product offerings available at BMO Private Wealth is where his clients would be best served.  This has allowed Drew to provide the best available solutions in the marketplace against a backdrop of clear and concise planning advice.  With the support and insight of the BBWA team and their affiliated partners, Drew has the ability to provide customized solutions for his clients. 

Drew holds a degree in Business Economics from the University of Saskatchewan.  He is fully IIROC licenced and holds his Chartered Investment Management Designation.
 
His passion for his family is evident.  He and his wife Megan celebrated the birth of their first son in October of 2018.  Growing up in rural Saskatchewan Drew brings with him a new dynamic to the team and is known to be very relatable and a down to earth person.  He is an avid outdoorsman and enjoys fishing and golfing.  He is a sports enthusiast and enjoys staying active.
