When you work with a financial advisor, understanding what you’re getting for your fees is important.

Can you answer these three questions?

1) Do you know exactly what you're paying for investment guidance?
2) Are the services you're receiving truly worth those fees?
3) Do you feel confident you’re on track to reach your financial goals?

If even one of those gave you pause, you're not alone. Investors at every stage deserve clarity, not just on what you pay, but on the full scope of support behind every decision. That means estate-planning access, tax-strategy guidance, and advice that's genuinely aligned with where you're headed.

I'm offering a complimentary second opinion on your portfolio — no pressure, no obligation. Just a fresh set of eyes from someone who believes your idea of confident, transparent wealth management starts with the right conversation.

I recently had the chance to spend a day volunteering at the Habitat for Humanity Kelowna restore alongside Shaina and several of our RBC dominion securities colleagues.

It was a great opportunity to support an organization to help families build strength, stability and independence through affordable homeownership.

I also have to admit, the ReStore was pretty fun to explore. There's an incredible mix of building supplies and unique finds - I could have spent hours looking through everything, and even came home with a couple of items for a project I'm working on.

A rewarding day with a great group of people supporting an important organization in our community.
