Lifelong learner. Professional pattern seeker.
I build systems that surface institutional risk before it becomes obvious.
Born in Toronto. Built my career on Bay Street.
Licensed to trade securities while still in college.
I learned to read fear before it hit the tape.
"When the screens went red, I was on the desk."
PENSON FINANCIAL — INSTITUTIONAL TRADING DESK
MF Global. Head of Trading.
When $1.6 billion in customer funds vanished,
I was running the trading floor.
"Some lessons cost everything to learn."
After the chaos, I learned to create.
Culinary school taught me what markets couldn't:
precision under pressure, but with beauty.
"Mise en place isn't just for kitchens. Always be prepared."
Moved to rural Quebec. My client, National Bank, convinced me.
Bought a farm. Raised llamas and alpacas.
"Negotiated on-demand hay delivery within an hour.
My own Uber Hay — in a language I speak un peu."
Every border crossed is a lesson.
Every language attempted is humility.
Every meal shared is connection.
"The world is the best teacher—if you show up."
Now I build the sales and product intelligence I wish I'd had
when launching trading desks or expanding operations.
70,000+ regulated entities. 1.5M people mapped.
All normalized with a FUID (Finleet Unique Identifier).
"I've been in the room when the system broke. Twice.
Now I make sure others see it coming."
إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
With hardship, comes ease.
