About Glen
Glen was born and raised in Red Deer and is proud of being a Canadian. After high school, he attended Red Deer College and the University of Alberta to earn a Bachelor of Commerce degree. Over the following two decades, Glen married Lyla and became father to Garnet and Sam. He also co-managed a successful livestock farm equipment dealership with his brother, Bill, during that period.
Since the year 2000, Glen has been assisting clients in accumulating wealth. Spending the time needed to listen and gain an understanding of each client’s unique situation is his goal. Also, as a licensed broker of personal insurance for individuals, families and local business owners he’s been able to help implement many risk management strategies.
In 2005, Glen earned the industry recognized CFP (Certified Financial Planner) designation. He believes his conviction to continuing education allows him to continually adapt to change.
