If you are in need of insurance or financial advice, and want someone who is knowledgeable, patient, not at all pushy, but above all trustworthy, I suggest you give James a call."
Enzo Sallese, M.A., LL.B.
James has helped me establish a program of paying myself first through investment and has advised and guided me through the integral process of protecting my family through insurance. As my needs grow and change throughout the years, I know that James will be there to help me make wise financial decisions. Trust is a crucial factor for picking an advisor and James has proven himself to be more than trustworthy, professional and knowledgeable. I am confident that he will meet your financial and insurance needs as well as he has met mine.
Steven Dykstra, LL.B.
James helped my husband and I get our life insurance in order when we were expecting our third child. His expertise helped us to make the best choices for our family. He even recommended a product that was less expensive than what we originally asked for, as it was a better fit for us. I give him my highest recommendation.

What I do is very simple...
I protect families, spouses, children and businesses. We use life insurance to help pay off debts and replace lost income. I work with all the major insurance companies and offer the best rates available in the market for both term and permanent life insurance.
I also help people plan for retirement. I protect families by helping them save for retirement. I do this through an analysis of risk and need and may use mutual funds, segregated funds, GIC's, Term Deposits and even permanent life insurance. I offer investment products from all the major mutual fund and insurance companies in Canada. Mutual funds offered as a representative of Equity Associates Inc., a mutual fund dealer.
