sophisticated banking, personalized short- and long-term lending
solutions and flexible credit packages. As needed, he will draw on an

holds a Bachelor of Management degree from the University of
Lethbridge, a Master of Business Administration from Vancouver Island

calls Calgary home. Away from the office he enjoys spending time with
his wife and daughter travelling, at their family cabin and getting in
as many rounds of golf as he can.
