I received my LLB and BCL degrees from McGill University in 1987.  

In 1988, I  was called to the New York Bar and spent three years as an associate with Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft in the corporate securities/mergers and acquisitions department.  

I returned to Canada in 1991 to become an associate with Russell & DuMoulin in the securities practice group and later transferred to the Wealth Preservation practice group.  

I have been a member of the British Columbia Bar since 1991 and have been practising in the Wills, Estates and Trusts area as a sole practitioner since 1999.
