About Matt
After graduating from Western University with a Finance Degree I joined the Financial Services industry in 2018 helping clients at CI investments as a Financial Services Rep summer intern. Prior to that I honed my communication and leadership skills in an entrepreneurial sales role, which I use to support our client-centric philosophy.
I believe every client has a unique situation and I provide personalized solutions and advice to help ensure they achieve their financial goals. I consider client service to be extremely important and make it essential to build strong relationships with all my clients.
I have completed the Canadian Securities Course (CSC), Conduct and Practices Handbook (CPH) designation, and the LLQP course (Life Insurance). I continue to build my knowledge of the industry by pursuing additional courses to help advance my development. I am a sports fanatic and continue to play Hockey, Golf, Soccer and Tennis.
