Wealth on your terms.

Arne's eldest daughter has a poster on her wall. It says, "Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken." That's how Arne lives life. He hopes others feel the freedom to do so as well. That's why his core purpose is to help clients enjoy and distribute wealth on their own terms.

To help those clients make informed choices, Arne and his team make it their mission to listen, interpret, educate and coach - that insurance is an asset, not an expense, for example. Careful planning then surfaces the right solution.

Loyalty and trust are paramount. By doing the right thing, Arne and his team want to be advisors' and clients' first choice. It helps that they're renowned as highly responsive, superbly meticulous, very honest - and always trying to be better.

People need really good people. Without the correct expertise to help guide us, things can easily fall through the cracks. Growing up in a family business, Brett has first-hand knowledge of the highs of success and the lows resulting from poor estate and succession planning. It was this experience that guided him to the financial industry and why he is driven to help others achieve their goals.

Brett recognizes each person and situation is unique as is his process to gather information, identify wealth goals and recommend tax efficient insurance based solutions. Whether implementing financial protection against premature death and illness or ensuring your hard work and wealth are transferred to the next generation, Brett creates a plan focused on your needs.

Raised in Winnipeg, Brett moved to the beautiful Okanagan in 2015 where he lives with his wife and 3 daughters. While always up to play a round of golf his passion, long distance running, keeps him on the lookout for his next marathon.
