Meet our team

Paul is one of few advisors in Canada to be both a Certified Financial Planner (CFP^TM) and a CFA Charterholder, combining financial planning expertise with investment analysis. Paul became the leader of the Christianson Wealth Advisors team in 2022, after first joining in 2011. His experience includes a quantitative role in risk management at Credit Union Central of Manitoba, teaching computer science to students in Thailand, and then was an Equity Research Analyst at a prominent mutual fund. He learned from these jobs that his ideal career was a balance of working directly with people and doing high level analysis. The team was thrilled to lure him back in 2017, as a fully seasoned investment professional. 

Paul cycles regularly and enjoys travelling with his wife Aleisha.

In addition to authoring the personal finance book and Canadian Bestseller, Managing the Bull, he has been the regular personal finance columnist in the Winnipeg Free Press for over 25 years. David was also the lead author of The Code of Professional Ethics and The Standards of Practice for Financial Planning Professionals for the Institute of Advanced Financial Planners.

Eric joined Christianson Wealth Advisors in 2019, after three years with a major investment dealer and a long career as a soloist with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. While dancing, he also worked in various banking positions and attended business school. He brings significant experience with securities trading to the team. His attraction to Christianson Wealth Advisors was to move to a team focused on clients, well-defined processes, and organized structure. In 2020, Eric became a discretionary portfolio manager under David Christianson’s supervision.

Eric became a father in 2021, with all credit to his wife Amanda Green, former principal dancer with the RWB, who is now a successful entrepreneur and founder of Melt Chocolate Company.
