Growing up in a small town with a very supportive family, close relationships have always been important to Joe. This is something that easily translates to the way he does business. Joe focuses on building strong relationships with his clients. Joe went to University in Buffalo, where he played on the varsity hockey team and studied Business Administration. This taught him the importance of both hard work and team work. Both of which have become an important aspect of the way we run our business, recognizing that it takes a team to deliver the best client service experience.

Aside from hockey, Joe enjoys being active in the community and playing sports, especially golf and baseball. He also enjoys coaching and helping out with minor hockey, spending time with friends and family and doing as much travelling as possible with his wife Ashley and two sons Louis & Harry.

Joe is passionate about his career in the Financial Planning business. Joe started working in his dad’s office in 2010, he obtained his Life Insurance and Mutual Funds licences in 2011 and has since achieved his CFP (Certified Financial Planner, professional) and CHS (Certified Health Specialist) designations. Both of which have helped in to gain an advanced knowledge in Financial Planning for his clients. Like in sports, where the best teams have the best defence, Joe believes the best financial plans build a solid financial defence for their families and their business.

Joe loves his career because he is always meeting new people and able to continually challenge himself while making a positive difference in the lives of others
