I provide independent financial advice to ensure that every financial plan I prepare for a client is based on unbiased research.

I value a client’s trust above everything else and once a client makes a decision to work with me, I continually work hard to deserve their trust.

About Me

With a diverse career spanning both engineering and finance, I am a partner at Shannon Financial, leveraging my expertise to provide clients with comprehensive financial solutions. My journey began with a strong educational foundation in electrical engineering from the University of Calgary, where I honed my analytical and problem-solving skills.

Engineering Background:

After graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, I embarked on a dynamic career in the power and utility sector. I played a crucial role in designing, implementing, and maintaining complex electrical systems that powered communities and industries. My engineering background instilled in me a deep appreciation for precision, attention to detail, and the ability to navigate intricate technical challenges.

Transition to Finance:

Recognizing the interconnectedness of engineering and finance, I pursued further education and training in the financial domain. Combining my technical acumen with a growing passion for asset management, economics and investment strategies, I transitioned to the world of finance. This transition was fueled by a desire to help clients not only navigate though volatile markets but also secure their financial futures.
