“My primary focus is wealth preservation and tax and I assist families with estate, trust, and business succession planning. I also maintain a broad practice in the areas of business law and real estate. The planning I implement is aimed at preserving wealth by minimizing your taxes during your lifetime, ensuring your testamentary wishes are carried out in a tax efficient manner, and ensuring the wealth you have worked hard to accumulate stays within your family for future generations. I pride myself on providing clients with quality, cost-effective and timely legal advice.”

Community Involvement, Hobbies, and Personal Interests

I am a resident of Port Moody, and I am proud to work in the community that I call home.

Before pursuing law, I obtained a Bachelor of Science and Minor in Commerce with distinction at the University of British Columbia. I then went onto receive my Diploma in Accounting at the University of British Columbia where I studied both managerial and financial accounting. After obtaining my law degree and completing my articles at BTM, I honed my legal skills at a downtown law firm where I specialized in wealth preservation and tax planning for high-net-worth families.

When I am not working, I like to stay active and spend as much time with family and friends as I can. I am an avid hockey fan, and I also enjoy travelling when possible.
