About Leigh Hogg
Born and raised in Kitchener Waterloo, Ontario, Leigh began his career in the financial services industry back in 1973 in personal lending, mortgages, and collections with the Household Financial Corp, and held various management and sales management positions throughout Ontario until 1982.
He transitioned to investment and financial advice, joining Ross Dixon and Associates in 1982 before acquiring the business in 1992, and creating Belmont Village Financial Group in Kitchener Waterloo in 1996 using a foundation of guaranteed products from banks, trust companies and credit unions, as well as investment funds. Leigh has been helping clients reach their financial goals ever since. Over his years in the financial industry, Leigh has seen the markets go through many significant changes but throughout it all, he has always taken a special interest in the success of his clients’ personal and financial milestones.
Leigh has been married to his wife Dinah, a retired nurse, for nearly 40 years. They have one daughter, Blayr, and a doggy ‘grandson’ named Pete. Leigh has been involved with the Kitchener Waterloo Philatelic Society and the KW Cambridge Post Card club for decades, taking on the roles of president, treasurer, and director of the clubs, respectively. He has also written numerous articles as a member of 8 national and international groups on the subject. If he’s not working on his passion for philatelic and historical pieces, you can probably find Leigh curling, swimming, or spending time on the golf course at his home club, Westmount.

We’ll show you how to streamline your processes, increase productivity and grow your bottom line. When you join Optimize Wealth, you become part of a team with one common goal, to help our Financial Professionals build a better business while providing your clients with expert financial advice. The major difference at Optimize Wealth is that we measure our teams’ success based on how well they help their clients achieve their goals rather than based on how much commissions or revenues they generate from their clients.
