After stepping down from my position as Managing Director of two highly successful Financial Planning firms in Western Canada and selling my businesses, I decided to pursue my true passion: training and developing Sales Managers and Sales Advisors/Agents.

My career journey has been diverse, ranging from supporting expatriate missionaries as they settle into their new lives in East Africa with the charity International Christian Aid, to recruiting and training high-performance teams of financial advisors. Along the way, I’ve been honored with numerous leadership awards and have never led a team that failed to meet a sales campaign target. By applying my proven techniques, I’ve consistently motivated groups and individuals to achieve outstanding success.
