Our Team

Born in Toronto, Paul has lived almost his entire life in London and considers it home. Paul attended local public and secondary schools, graduating from the University of Western Ontario in 1988. Paul’s father worked for a prominent local insurance company so, carrying on in the financial services field, Paul joined Bank of Montreal in 1988 and has remained with BMO Financial Group for the past 38 years.

A seasoned investment advisor, Paul enjoys working with individuals and their families to not only manage their wealth but to develop a comprehensive investment, retirement and estate plan that addresses a wide range of family needs. The goal is to ensure that wealth remains with the individuals (and their family) that created it. Paul believes that working with families and their trusted professionals is a necessary step in planning for the future and should tie in with any investment program.

Paul volunteers through a local church providing meals for the less advantaged, has been a minor league baseball coach and is involved with KidSport which raises funds to help local youth participate in sport when otherwise this would not be financially viable. Paul has been a member of the Children’s Health Foundation (CHF) Investment Committee for more than 10 years and truly enjoys giving back to the community. Paul has two grown daughters who live and work in the London area and two very active young grandsons. He and his wife Kelly reside in Old South with their golden doodle Archie. When not working on the yard or relaxing by the pool, both Paul and Kelly can be found on the golf course hunting for birdies.

In 2019, Janice was ready for a new challenge. She made the decision to move to BMO Nesbitt Burns as an Investment Advisor and she hasn’t looked back. This has allowed her to deepen her relationships with her clients and provide more in-depth advice on investments and retirement planning, tax efficiency, estate planning, and cash flow analysis. Through a disciplined approach to saving and investing, she is able to put together tailor-made financial plans to provide peace of mind for her clients, while helping them to achieve their goals and dreams.
