Following graduation from the University of Guelph with an Honors Marine and Freshwater Biology degree and a minor in Business Administration, he owned and managed multiple companies. His passion, however, was with the stock market, so he began managing money for his friends and family. For the past 8 years he has worked in the brokerage industry managing money for a vast array of clients. In 2014, Dan completed the rigorous training for the Chartered Investment Manager (CIM®) designation.
His technical expertise in investment management and economics provides him with the foundation to his holistic approach to wealth management. He tailors investment strategies to complement clients life goals and business objectives, as well as estate and charitable-giving intentions.
Dan understands that each client’s wealth management vision is unique and takes a personal approach to every relationship he builds. Trust and integrity are fundamental characteristics of his practice.
Away from the office Dan spends much of his time with his wife Jaime, daughter Kensington and son Langdon. He is active in the community as a member of the Kitchener Grand River Rotary Club, a committee member and session leader of Camp Enterprise, an entrepreneurship opportunity for high school kids, and an active athlete playing hockey, squash, golf and Ultimate Frisbee for Team Canada.

Deeply Talented Team
Drawing on this deep talent, as well as the expertise of various TD Specialists, we can provide you with a range of strategic planning services that is often only seen in family office environments.
Simply put, we are professionals.
Helping achieve what truly matters to you and your family.

Personalized Portfolio Asset Allocation
Depending on your stage in life you may be focusing on growing your wealth, protecting your wealth, or transferring your wealth; we align your portfolio to your current objectives and adjust it as your objectives change.
Pension-Like Portfolio Design
We do too.
Market volatility is inevitable. However, our portfolio is designed to help grow assets responsibly in up markets, while aiming to provide improved downside protection during challenging markets.
Gone are the days where the traditional 60/40 portfolio will continue to be effective. We think about new ways to manage your money for today and the future.
Strategically, the portfolio is diversified into several asset classes and geographical locations. The asset classes include public and private equity, public and private debt, hard assets and alternative assets. Geographically, we allocate money to Canada, the US, Europe, Asia and Emerging Markets.
Tactically, we monitor and, when deemed appropriate, change the portfolio's geographical weightings, asset class weightings, investment constituents or foreign exchange hedges to capitalize on market, sector or company corrections.
For clients with low liquidity needs we take advantage of illiquidity premiums by allocating a portion of the portfolio to alternative investments such as private debt, equity and real estate – just like pension funds do.
