I am a CFA charter holder, MBA, CSC- Financial Educator | FinTech Strategist | Retired Fintech Founder  | Author of The Wealthy Canadian | Harvard and MIT certified

I retired as a fintech founder, and lifelong student of the money game.

I started my financial journey in 2010 with a bag full of ambition and a love for spreadsheets. I taught myself how to invest, bought Bitcoin at $113, and slowly built a diversified portfolio blending rental real estate, ETFs, and tech stocks.

After exiting my fintech startup (yes, I escaped the startup sauna with my sanity intact), I found my calling in financial education. Today, I teach at SAIT and Mount Royal University, help design Canada’s first FinTech BBA major, and mentor thousands of students around the world through Udemy.

What I Bring to You: With over 25,000+ students on Udemy and a background that blends finance, education, and technology, I teach what traditional textbooks don’t: how to make smart financial decisions using humor, real-life stories, and practical tools.

I specialize in helping aspiring financial professionals crush their regulatory requirements. Whether you are preparing for the CIRE (Canadian Investment Regulatory Exam), the RSE (Retail Securities Exam), or other critical CIRO exams, I break down complex regulations into clear, passable strategies.
