Before joining BMO Nesbitt Burns, Rick was a Managing Partner for Hughes LeBel Chartered Accountants. He currently works as an Investment Advisor in Ottawa, Ontario.

"I was attracted to this career because it allowed me to build on the services I had provided to my clients as a CA, with particular emphasis on financial planning, retirement planning and security selection.

"Over 80% of the accounts I have opened originated from my former client base. They knew me and were familiar with the type of services I provided. Perhaps most important, they trust me."
