☕ What’s your go-to coffee (or tea) order?
Coffee. Black and strong.
🧭 What brought you to RLF Advisory – and what’s kept you here?
I first got to know the team while working on the insurance carrier side of the industry. I always admired RLF’s reputation, so when the opportunity arose to join the firm, I didn't hesitate. What’s kept me here is the positive energy that comes from collaborating with a great team and building long-term relationships with the clients we have the privilege of serving.
🤝 RLF talks about “Serving in a way that is meaningful, honourable and enhances the lives of others.” What does that mean in your day-to-day work?
It means always doing the right thing, putting the client’s interests first, and making sure the advice and work we provide leaves them in a better place than we found them.
💙 What’s something you’ve learned from your time with RLF Advisory that’s stayed with you?
Doing the right thing will always pay dividends. Maybe not immediately, but always over the long term.
💬 What’s a book, movie, podcast – or even a quote – that's had an impact on you?
My father’s advice: “Always do the right thing and treat people the way you’d want to be treated.” After more than 40 years in our industry, he was an incredible role model both professionally and personally.
✅ What part of your work gives you the most satisfaction?
Helping clients solve problems and navigate difficult situations – and seeing the results positively impact their organizations and employees.
3️⃣ If you had to describe RLF Advisory in just three words, what would they be?
Integrity. Trust. Commitment.
🥘 What’s a simple pleasure or small daily habit that adds joy to your day?
Cooking. I find it relaxing, and there’s something rewarding about preparing a great meal and sharing it with family and friends.
⛳ When you’re not working, where can we find you?
Keeping up with our three active kids. In the winter, usually at the hockey rink. In the summer, at the golf course or on the football field.
Ian’s approach is rooted in something simple: do the right thing, every time. That philosophy has helped him build trusted relationships with clients, colleagues, and the businesses he serves, and it continues to guide the work we do every day.
