"I believe life insurance and annuities have an important role in Estate Planning, which is the efficient distribution of your final assets in a way that minimizes income taxes. In other words, less money paid to CRA and more for your heirs. This is where life insurance and annuities fit like a glove".
Outside the office, Jack enjoys tennis, family and travel.
