Devin continues to find excitement in his work every day, maintaining a slow and steady path toward what motivates him most of all: giving people financial freedom. “When you don’t stress about money – that’s a life changer,” says Devin.
Coming from modest means, Devin’s eye is always on the prize, and he puts in the hard work it takes to earn it. With several years’ worth of experience in various roles at RBC in Kelowna and Calgary, Devin took on the challenge of becoming an investment advisor in 2009. Before long, he had distinguished himself among his peers, showcasing integrity and commitment to client experience excellence, which earned him the prestigious President of the President’s Club title. Today, he leads one of the top investment and wealth management teams at RBC Dominion Securities.
While determination and discipline have propelled Devin to the top of his league, he is never, ever too busy to give of his time – be it to advise on how the firm operates (Devin sits on the Dominion Securities Advisory Board), counsel a fellow investment advisor, attend to a client need, or even help a client’s friend or relative. “We want clients to come to us with whatever financial problems they have, big or small,” says Devin.
Devin has achieved the recognition of Fellow of the Canadian Securities Institute (FCSI) – the highest accolade in our industry – and also holds additional designations, including the Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), Chartered Investment Manager (CIM), and Financial Management Advisor (FMA). Devin began his academic journey at Okanagan University College, where he obtained a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree with a specialization in finance.
When Devin is not working, he and his wife, Andrea, travel the world – they’ve visited more than 40 countries so far, and counting. An avid wine collector, Devin continually advances his knowledge and appreciation for wine and the culinary arts, including completing levels two and three at the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET).
