A financial professional for Hamilton.

Life insurance, disability finance, and investing for Hamilton families. Education first, every conversation free.

Hamilton has heart: steelworkers, nurses, teachers, and young families who got priced out of Toronto and found something better. This is a city of first homes and fresh starts, which is exactly when the right insurance and the right plan matter most. I work with Hamilton families virtually: plain English, zero pressure, every conversation free.

Serving Hamilton, Burlington, Stoney Creek, and the Golden Horseshoe by phone and video.

Hamilton makes things, including fresh starts

Hamilton's identity was forged in the steel mills at the harbour, and you can still read the city in its paycheques: steelworkers and tradespeople, nurses and staff across the hospital network, McMaster University's students and researchers, and a fast-growing crowd of younger families who came down the QEW for a house they could actually afford. Dundas and Ancaster hold the old village feel, Stoney Creek stretches toward the fruit lands, and the mountain divides the map and the weather. It is a working city with a university brain and a hospital heart, and its money questions reflect all three.

For steel and trades families, the planning gap is usually the space between a good union benefits package and what a family would actually face. Group coverage ends at retirement and often pays less than people assume while they are working, so the honest exercise is reading the real numbers and topping up only what is actually missing. For the families arriving from Toronto, the questions are first home questions: coverage that matches the real mortgage, an RESP started while the kids are small, and a plan that does not collapse if one income pauses for parental leave or a layoff.

Hamilton is also a healthcare city, and families here know the hospital system from the inside, as staff and as patients. If a disability is part of your family's life, the Disability Tax Credit and the RDSP belong on the table early, with the same federal rules that apply everywhere in Canada. McMaster's research community means a lot of local families are research literate and data driven, and I respect that: bring your hardest questions, and expect straight answers with the reasoning shown.

What I help Hamilton families with

  • Life insurance: term, universal, and whole life, matched to your actual life. See the honest comparison.
  • RDSP and disability finance: the Disability Tax Credit, the RDSP, and up to $90,000 in government grants and bonds most families never hear about. Start at the Disability Finance hub.
  • Investing: TFSA, RRSP, FHSA, RESP, and non-registered accounts built around real life.
  • Living benefits: critical illness and disability coverage for the self-employed and single-income households. How critical illness works.
  • Business owners: corporate strategies, key person coverage, and buy-sell funding. The business playbook.

Why work with a broker in Hamilton?

A broker works for you, not for one insurance company. That means choice across insurers, advice shaped around your life instead of a product shelf, and someone in your corner at claim time, when it matters most. Read the full broker vs agent breakdown.

How it works

Step one: book a free conversation below. Thirty minutes, zero pressure. Step two: we talk through your situation in plain English until you actually understand your options. Step three: you decide, with facts instead of salesmanship.

Hamilton questions I hear most

My union benefits are good. Do I need anything of my own?

Sometimes a top up, sometimes not, and anyone who answers before reading your actual benefits booklet is guessing. Group disability and life coverage usually covers less than the headline number and ends when the job does. We read the real figures together, keep what works, and only fix genuine gaps. If your coverage is already solid, I will tell you so.

We moved from Toronto for a house. What should we set up first?

Protection matched to the real mortgage and the real budget, then an emergency cushion, then the investing accounts in the order that fits your goals. If a child in your family has a disability, add the Disability Tax Credit checker to the list early: the credit and the RDSP checker can change the whole plan for the better.

How do meetings work if you are not in Hamilton?

By phone or video, from my base in Carleton Place. Steel shifts and hospital shifts run around the clock, so this practice keeps hours that work for shift workers, and the first conversation is always free. Paperwork and signatures are digital, and you deal with me directly every time, not a call centre.

Common questions

Do you meet in person in Hamilton?

Most conversations happen by phone or video, which is how I serve families across Canada. In-person meetings can be arranged when I am in the area.

Is the first conversation really free?

Yes. You don't have to figure this out alone. I'm here to help you through every step.

What should I prepare before we talk?

Nothing. Bring your questions and an open mind. If it helps, jot down what keeps you up at night about money, we will start there.
