Gary was born in Truro, Nova Scotia, but spent most of his youth
living in the Province of Quebec where his father was stationed at
the time. After completing his education, Gary was quick to apply
the regimented work ethic he carried over from his upbringing to
the business world. In 1978, Gary re-located to Ottawa where he
bought his first business in 1987. In the following years he would
go on to buy and sell several other successful businesses.
In 1992 Gary shifted careers, joining the financial services
sector, where he was able to apply his "hands-on" practical
business knowledge in helping other business owners.
Along the way he met his wife Nancy and their family began to
grow with the additions of Andrew, David, Leanne and Steve.
Those who have had the opportunity of working with Gary know
that he takes charge and makes things happen. He's known for
creating a vision and developing the necessary steps to achieve
desired objectives. He understands the importance of teamwork, and
Life Span Financial Strategies achieves results through his
confidence and leadership as one of Ottawa's wealth management
professionals.
Gary is a strong believer that successful people need to deal
with other successful people. As a Member of DundeeWealth's
President's and Chairman's Club, Gary has become a recognized
leader in his field and an individual that successful people value
as a key advisor.
