My journey into equipment finance began unexpectedly. While studying political theory and marketing at McMaster and Carleton Universities, I discovered a dynamic industry that rarely appears on student’s radar. Joining Commcorp Financial in the mid-1990s changed everything—I found not only lifelong friendships but also a genuine passion for creating clarity in complex financial situations.

What energizes me most are win-win scenarios. I quickly recognized the tremendous opportunity for vendors to leverage equipment financing as a powerful sales tool. Drawing on my marketing background, I analyzed the metrics and spearheaded Questor’s marketing initiatives, which reinforced my conviction: small businesses deserve better access to capital and equipment financing solutions.

My commitment is clear—providing opportunities for our Questor team members to achieve their best while connecting clients with trusted advisors to navigate their business finances. What I love most about this industry is that relationships and trust are the bedrock of everything we do.

While finance is about numbers, it’s fundamentally a people business. As a proud mom of three amazing young men, I thrive on building meaningful connections. When I’m not in the office, you’ll find me traveling with my family, experimenting in the kitchen, spoiling my dog, and pursuing continuing education through my CCFLP designation.

With over two decades of experience in the leasing industry, I’ve grown alongside Questor—starting with a leap of faith and a simple promise: “Give me a chance to show you what I can do.” I didn’t have the formal qualifications, but I had drive, curiosity, and a deep desire to learn. That’s what brought me here, and it’s what’s kept me going for 22 years.

I began in inside sales, cold-calling and digging through our database to uncover opportunities. That hunger to understand led me into credit, then funding, and eventually into every corner of the business. I’ve had the privilege of learning from incredible leaders and building strong relationships with our funder partners—relationships built on trust, respect, and shared goals.

Today, I lead our Sales Support Team, coaching others the way I was once coached: with patience, encouragement, and a belief in their potential. I love watching our team grow into their roles and build careers they’re proud of. My approach has always been to lead by example and keep learning from those around me.

What I love most about this industry is the constant challenge — every deal is unique, and every stakeholder deserves our best.  I’m proud to be a part of a team that values excellence, collaboration, and continuous growth.

With over 23 years in lease brokering and a specialization in agricultural finance, I’ve built my career on helping clients achieve real financial results. My two decades at National Leasing taught me what works—and what matters most to the businesses I serve.

After National Bank’s acquisition, I relocated to beautiful Fairmont Hot Springs, BC, and joined Questor to lead our Western Canada expansion. Here, I can offer innovative solutions like working capital loans while connecting clients with a partner that’s proven its stability through every market season.

As a specialist in agricultural finance, I understand the unique challenges and opportunities facing farming operations. Whether you’re looking to upgrade equipment, manage cash flow, or fuel growth, I bring both expertise and genuine enthusiasm to every client relationship.

When I’m not helping businesses succeed, you’ll find me on the golf course enjoying everything BC has to offer.

Before stepping into the world of finance, I built a career in athletics and health. I competed nationally as a figure competitor with the CPA, played soccer and boxed at the provincial level, and later operated a multidisciplinary clinic as an athletic and massage therapist. Sports have always been a big part of my life — and while competition looks a different these days, I try to sneak in a round of golf whenever I can! 

To support my studies, I worked at TD Canada Trust,  while I pursued academics at the University of Toronto and Sheridan College, followed by a Business Foundations Certificate from UBC’s Sauder School of Business. That mix of competitive sport, healthcare, and business shaped the collaborative and solutions-focused approach I bring to my role today.

As Credit Manager at Questor, I focus on managing files while building meaningful relationships with vendors and end users. I enjoy taking the time to understand each customer’s goals and creating well-structured applications that set them up for success. For me, the best part of the job is working together to find creative financing solutions that help businesses grow.

When I’m not working or chasing after goals, I’m a proud mom who loves fitness, good food, and a great glass of wine.

After a long and winding journey through various career paths—ranging from policing and welding to auto repair—I found myself searching for a workplace where I could truly commit and flourish. I explored countless options, speaking with friends and acquaintances, but none felt quite right. It wasn’t until my mother, who has always been my guiding light, reached out to me with an incredible opportunity to work alongside her that I began to see a glimmer of hope. 

At first, I hesitated, unsure if working behind a desk and handling calls would be a good fit for me, especially given my background in face-to-face customer service. However, I soon realized how mistaken I was. As I settled into this role, I discovered that all my past experiences were not separate threads but rather an intricate tapestry, each woven into this new chapter of my life.  

Working with my mother felt natural, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that many of my co-workers were familiar faces from my past, people I had known long before my career began. It’s as if we had all come full circle, joining together as a family in this vibrant work environment. 

Though I am still learning the ropes, I am confident that with the support and camaraderie of this amazing team—my new family—I have found not just a job but a true home. I am eager to embrace this opportunity and fully commit to this new adventure, knowing that together, we can achieve great things. 

With 35 years of dedicated service in the equipment leasing industry, I bring a depth of experience that spans nearly every level of this dynamic field. For the past 28 years, I’ve served as a leasing broker with Questor Financial, where my passion for helping businesses grow through strategic financing solutions drives everything I do.

What truly energizes me about this industry is its transformative power – watching businesses expand their capabilities, increase productivity, and achieve their goals through the right equipment financing. Every application that crosses my desk receives my complete commitment, because I understand that behind each request is a business owner with dreams, challenges, and opportunities.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working across diverse industries including fitness, construction, vocational, transportation and many more. Each sector has taught me something new, and this continuous learning aspect of the business remains what attracts me most. Whether it’s understanding the unique cash flow patterns of a construction company or the seasonal demands of a fitness center, I believe that truly knowing my clients’ industries makes me a better advocate for their success.

My approach is simple: no stone is left unturned. I don’t just process applications – I partner with clients and vendors to find creative solutions, explore all available options, and fight for approvals that others might walk away from. This level of commitment to our clients and vendor partners is what I consider our greatest strength.

After three and a half decades in this industry, my enthusiasm hasn’t dimmed. Every day brings new challenges, new learning opportunities, and new chances to help businesses achieve their potential.

Although new to the equipment leasing industry, I have the good fortunate of being part of a family team with decades of experience and proven success. Under their mentorship, I’m rapidly mastering the business and leveraging this wealth of knowledge to carve out my own path in the industry.

Prior to entering the equipment leasing industry I spent several years in social service work. My focus was on helping vulnerable populations improve their quality of life. This experience sharpened my ability to empathize, actively listen and provide thoughtful solutions.  These skills are what I use to deliver exceptional service to my clients to help them achieve their goals.

One of the wisest individuals I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing was an Eastern European immigrant who arrived in Canada with little more than hope and determination. Despite having only an eighth-grade education, he worked tirelessly to build a small fortune while raising eight children along the way. His guiding principle, “It’s not always what you make, but what you leave,” has resonated deeply with me throughout my life. 

Though he never fully grasped the intricacies of my work in this industry, my father’s unwavering support and pride in my endeavors were constants I cherished. For over 35 years, I have held onto his wisdom and committed myself to nurturing the growth of my vendors, distributors, and customers. My aspiration has never been to merely be a sales representative; instead, I strive to be a genuine partner. I want to understand your goals and dreams and do everything I can to help you achieve them, even if it’s just in some small way. 

Since its inception, I have been passionate about my journey with Questor and now I have the great joy of bringing my son Chance on board. Questor provides us with the essential tools and support we need to truly partner with our clients. By remaining at the forefront of technology and collaborating with the most reliable lending partners, Questor empowers us to make a real difference in the lives of those we serve. 

Let’s build a brighter future together. 

I’m a third-generation equipment leasing broker, and helping businesses grow is something that truly runs in the family. With over 15 years in finance, including time working directly in banking, I’ve learned the value of being hard working, trustworthy, and always responsive to my clients’ needs.

What I love most about my job is the chance to support both new and established businesses as they work toward their financial goals. Whether it’s finding the right solution or just being there to answer questions, I’m committed to making the process as smooth and straightforward as possible. I work directly with my loving wife, Anastasia, and we always strive to provide the best service to our clients.

At the end of the day, our clients know we always have their best interests at heart—and that’s a responsibility we take seriously.

Outside of work, I have a beautiful family of four that spends as much time as possible together taking trips out in the country, mountain biking, going to concerts, or just quality time at home.

Well, I didn’t grow up saying I aspired to be in the equipment leasing industry. But I’ve always loved being of service to others—and sometimes life has a funny way of leading you exactly where you need to be.

I began my career in equipment sales back in 1985, and quickly discovered something that changed everything: offering financing was a game-changer. Nearly 90% of my sales closed through lease agreements because customers cared about monthly payments that fit their budget, not the total price tag.

That lightbulb moment led me to transition into equipment leasing and financing in 1990. After working with a couple of key funders, I joined Questor Financial in 1999, and that’s where things really opened up. Instead of being limited to one funding source, I could suddenly serve a much wider range of businesses with customized solutions that actually made sense for them.

Nearly four decades later, I’ve built deep expertise in financial solutions and business growth strategies. But here’s the thing—beyond all the numbers and industry knowledge, what I’m really passionate about is customer service. Whether I’m working with equipment vendors, helping startups get off the ground, supporting franchise growth, or partnering with established businesses, my team and I are always here to help. My customers always know where to find me.

My approach is straightforward: make financing seamless, help businesses thrive, and give sales teams the tools they need to close more deals.

When I’m not serving my clients, you’ll find me enjoying a leisurely game of golf, spending time with my family and grandkids, sharing home-cooked meals, and savoring a nice glass of red wine.

With over three decades of experience in the financial services industry, I have built a distinguished career rooted in leadership, innovation, and a deep understanding of the financial landscape. Starting my career in 1987 in a junior role at Citibank Canada, I quickly progressed through key positions, including Sales Manager at Commcorp Financial Services, National Sales Manager at GE Capital, and Vice President of Sales at MTC Leasing.

Over the years, I honed my expertise in financial strategy, team leadership, and client relations, gaining a reputation for delivering results. After accumulating extensive industry experience, I founded and successfully operated a financial services consulting firm for over 20 years, helping clients navigate complex financial challenges with tailored solutions.

I am excited to embark on the next chapter of my career, re-entering the equipment leasing industry alongside my sons, James and Jacob, and my daughter-in-law, Anastasia. This family-driven venture brings a new energy to an industry I know intimately, marking a return to my roots while embracing modern opportunities for growth.

As a business owner myself, I understand firsthand the challenges of managing cash flow and making strategic equipment investments. This allows me to bring a unique perspective to equipment leasing, understanding the specific operational needs and financial considerations of businesses across diverse sectors.

As a leasing professional,  I am committed to helping fellow entrepreneurs acquire the equipment they need to grow and succeed, leveraging my industry expertise and genuine understanding of how the right equipment and financing can transform operations and drive success.

With over 10 years of comprehensive financial services experience at a major Canadian bank, I developed deep expertise in business lending, credit evaluation, and commercial finance across diverse industries. Through managing complex credit relationships and assessing financing structures, I gained invaluable insight into leveraging credit to optimize growth for both individuals and businesses.

My subsequent hands-on experience in the trades and technology sectors has given me a practical understanding of operational needs and equipment challenges from the client’s perspective. This combination allows me to evaluate not just the financial merits of a lease, but also how equipment solutions align with real-world business operations and growth objectives.

I’ve spent my career learning that the strongest business relationships are built on genuine connection. Whether we’re analyzing financing structures or discussing music and global economic trends, I take a down-to-earth approach to getting to know the people behind the businesses I serve. I bring both the financial acumen and industry perspective to structure solutions that support your business goals.
