In 1998 I found myself changing careers without a great plan for retirement. At the age of 37, married with 3 young children, I found that my career passion was to help other people and families in planning for retirement as I was for my family.

With the help of some great mentors in the investment and insurance industry, my attention was focused on how we all need assistance in navigating this complex subject. As I completed the mutual funds license, insurance license and became a member of Advocis, The Financial Advisor’s Association of Canada, my next step was to understand what we all need in advice and how to provide this to my future clients.

From what I learned in my studies, being able to offer independent and unbiased Financial Advice was paramount in achieving the service we could provide. Needs are so varied from one person to the next, being able to take the needs of the client and finding the solution from all the great investment and insurance vehicles available. That’s why being an independent broker was so important to me from day one.

Over the years we have grown within Thomas J. Power Investment and Insurance. We enjoy our quest to continue to learn and maintain our original focus of providing client-based solutions.
