Over the past 25+ years, I have built a successful full-service Investment Advisory practice, the Tigert Wealth Management Group, by providing my clients a disciplined approach to money management and exceptional customer service. I hold the Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) designation, I am a Personal Financial Planner (PFP) and I have been recognized as a Fellow of the Canadian Securities Institute (FCSI), the most senior financial service designation available in Canada.

I am a graduate of the University of Western Ontario, and continuously build on my body of knowledge for the benefit of my clients.  After four generations, my family has strong roots in Toronto, where I reside with my wife JoAnne and our two daughters.
