Edward Jones- Financial Advisor - Michael J. O'Brien That instinct to serve has shaped not only my career, but my entire approach to wealth management. Community and family are at the center of who we are.

I’ve spent my entire life helping others—whether it was supporting friends and family, coaching my kids through new challenges, or guiding clients through some of the most important financial decisions of their lives. Today, my priority is simple: to understand what matters most to you. For business owners, senior executives, and families navigating life transitions, clarity and confidence are essential. By taking the time to listen—to your goals, your concerns, your aspirations—we can build a strategy grounded in purpose, structure, and long-term stability. Life isn’t a straight path, and meaningful planning goes far beyond numbers on a page. I partner with my clients to help them protect what they've built, transition wealth intentionally, and create security for the people they love. Whether you're preparing for a fulfilling retirement, planning the future of your business, or navigating the financial complexities that come with losing a spouse, my role is to bring guidance, steadiness, and clarity every step of the way. My journey has taken me from our Nation’s Capital back to the beautiful Hamilton, Dundas, Ancaster, Stoney Creek community, where my wife Michelle and I are raising our two children, Mary and Matthew. Since 2002—when Michelle and I were married and my parents experienced the life changing gift of a kidney transplant—we’ve been committed supporters of the Kidney Walk, along with cancer research and the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation. Outside of work, you’ll often find us enjoying local parks or engaging with friends and family continuing the tradition of giving back in the place we call home. If you’re looking for a partner who will listen closely, ask the right questions, and help you move forward with confidence, I invite you to reach out. Let’s find time for a conversation over coffee or in whatever way is most convenient to explore how I can support you and your family’s financial future.

A new school year is just around the corner, and for many families that means it's time to start drawing from an RESP.

Julie Petrera, our Director of Financial Planning at Edward Jones Canada, shared some helpful perspective in The Canadian Press on the mistakes to avoid — like taking from the wrong portion of the account first, or leaving too much invested in equities too close to withdrawal time.

We work with media to share insights like these because the families we serve are asking these same questions every day. By contributing to credible publications, we help bring timely, trustworthy guidance to clients and families across Canada — not just in our own communities, but wherever these conversations are happening.

If education planning is on your mind, reach out. We're here to help.

As the school year approaches, families across the country are getting ready to tap into their registered education savings plans.
