Personal Philosophy

With a career spanning over 35 years, I believe that each client is unique and their needs & plans are different. Every transaction that is entrusted to me is based on trust and I promise to earn that trust every step of the way.

The greatest satisfaction for me as an advisor is when I can deliver on the promises made and see when a plan comes to fruition.

Personal Objectives

In 2007, I set up my own company called the Omega Financial Group.

As an independent broker/ consultant. I have the independence to shop the market and offer products and opinions that are unbiased.

I believe that as the Insurance & investment planning landscape changes and evolve with new products and concepts; my initiative is to strive constantly for increased knowledge. This will provide more efficient and economical ways to meet the changing needs of my clients and I will constantly strive to bring an extra measure of personal service and consideration to every business transaction.
