A very long post but something that has been on my mind for the greater part of the last six months. How much I have changed in the past ten years might be told best by these pictures. June 27th, 2022 marks a decade at IG Wealth Management. Along with spending a decade at IG I received some recognition for last year as one of the top ten Division Directors in the company and being named to President’s Council. This is humbling, and really a true testament to the individuals and support system that I have around me.
So, I am going to take a minute to give these individuals the credit they deserve because without them I am not who I am. I would first like to thank my clients for their unbelievable support and trust they put in me to handle their financial affairs. Times like the last two years have been difficult to comprehend for everyone and it is solid financial planning that continues to be our utmost focus and helping our clients achieve financial flexibility and meet their goals no matter how big or small they may be. Second, is my wife Sarah and family. No person I know is as patient and willing to support me and I could not ask for more from her when it comes to letting me have the flexibility to be at the office for long hours, weekends, or countless other times over the past several years. To my parents (even though they don’t have Facebook) who have supported me from the second I started at IG Wealth Management as a 22-year-old and helped us renovate the office space we imagined in 2021. Next is the team I have around me, as well as the individual that taught me how to love this career. Chris Hammett thank you being the individual that I need you to be. We are similar in so many ways but are just different enough to complement each other in our long-term vision in the IG Estevan Office. Jarrett Daoust, thank you for letting me be one of your many teachers and more importantly thank you for helping me grow to be a better financial planner through our hundreds of conversations over the past few years. Twyla, Jodine, and Andy thank you for being the glue that keeps us together. The support and care that you put into taking care of our clients is unbelievable and we would not be who are as an office without you. Finally, is to my mentor and predecessor Gail Dodds (also doesn’t have Facebook but she needs as much recognition as anyone). The guidance and framework you gave me to make me grow has helped me get to where I am today. I will be forever grateful for your mentorship and more importantly your friendship. People that know both Gail and I know the number of hours we spent over our nearly nine years together as a team, and without her I do not know where I would be. She also is my inspiration to teach other consultants when they start off with IG Wealth Management.
