SUDDEN WEALTH SPECIALIST | KELOWNA, BC
You Just Got Life-
Changing Money.
And nobody told you
what comes next.
Don't blow it.
The next 90 days matter more than you realize.
Which transition brought
you here?
You already know what The Noise sounds like.
It’s the advisor who calls within a week of the news. It’s family who suddenly remember you exist. It’s your accountant, your lawyer, and three different bank reps, all asking you to decide something right now, before you’ve had a single quiet day to think.
Exiting Founders
01 · The Catalyst
The wire lands and the calls start, often within 48 hours. Your deal team’s engagement ends at close, and everyone else has a plan for your money.
02 · The Intervention
I begin where your deal team finishes. Proceeds go into a secure holding account, nothing is redeployed for 90 days, and we write your Sovereignty Charter™ before a single dollar moves.
03 · The Outcome
Capital moves into productive use, governed by the Charter, not by momentum. The pace is set by what’s right for you.
Growth-Stage Founders
01 · The Catalyst
The company is scaling, but paper wealth doesn’t fund a mortgage. The personal decisions you defer compound in the wrong direction, and the LCGE clock is already running.
02 · The Intervention
I work in the gap between your lawyer and your accountant: holdco strategy, your LCGE runway, and a personal plan that runs beside the business, not after it.
03 · The Outcome
Optionality whether the exit is two years out or ten, and an exit that produces lasting wealth, not a lump sum that erodes.
Inheritance Recipients
01 · The Catalyst
The money arrives without structure while banks, family, and friends all have opinions. Heirs don’t struggle because they lack money. They struggle because it arrives without structure.
02 · The Intervention
I map what you’ve inherited, identify the tax exposures, and manage the Stabilization Period, with no major decision in the first 90 days, while we build your Sovereignty Charter™.
03 · The Outcome
Stewardship, not a windfall: what’s protected immediately, what’s deployed deliberately, and a governance process that outlasts the first 18 months.
Divorce and Separation
01 · The Catalyst
The settlement’s signed, the lawyers are gone, and every financial touchpoint you relied on has vanished at exactly the moment decisions matter most.
02 · The Intervention
I model the 20-year outcome of your settlement, restructure accounts into your own name, and give you a written plan for the first 90 days before any major decision.
03 · The Outcome
A financial identity that’s entirely yours: a clear mandate and a plan built around your life, not a compromise built around two.
Retiring Executives
01 · The Catalyst
The package is on the table and the clock has already started. Pension elections, RSU windows, and deferred comp timing carry deadlines that HR’s timeline won’t protect you from.
02 · The Intervention
While your elections are still open, I map every element of the package: pension modelling, deferred comp timing, equity strategy, and benefit conversion.
03 · The Outcome
Your compensation integrated into one income system for the next chapter, with the choices you can’t revisit after your last day made on purpose.
Windfall Recipients
01 · The Catalyst
Windfalls don’t come with instructions. What they come with is everyone else’s opinion, arriving before you’ve had a day to think.
02 · The Intervention
I move the money into a secure holding account, give you 90 days, and build your Sovereignty Charter™: how this money gets used, who has a say, and what you won’t decide under pressure.
03 · The Outcome
Investments, insurance, and giving all built to match the Charter, not the other way around.
Sudden Wealth Syndrome What It Is, Why It Happens, and How to Recover
Sudden Wealth Syndrome is not mainly a money problem. It is what happens when external wealth changes faster than the nervous system, identity, and social world can reorganize around it.

"The early problem is not portfolio design. The early problem is nervous-system overload."

How It Works
The Sovereignty Operating System™
Three steps. No rushing.
Step 1
The Sovereignty Survey
We build your Stabilization Map, run your Immediate Risk Scan, and draft your 30-Day Action Framework, then walk through it all together in a 90-minute session. $750 for personal situations, $1,500 for corporate ones. This is not a pitch. It is work.
Step 2
The Virtual Family Office
Once you're ready to move forward, we set up your Virtual Family Office together, opening your Storehouses, writing your Charter, and assembling your Personal Board of Directors. This is where your system gets built, before a single dollar moves.
Step 3
The Integration
Your Family CFO deploys your capital according to the Charter, manages your treasury, coordinates your Personal Board of Directors inside the Portal, and silences The Noise.
Once the Charter Is Written
Life Under the Charter
Most advisory firms deploy investments first and try to bolt governance on later, if at all. I reverse the sequence.
The Charter doesn't retire once it's written. It keeps governing everything that happens after Integration:
- Insurance is coordinated through your Risk Manager. Life, disability, and estate protection are structured against your corporate and trust architecture so coverage matches actual risk.
- Investments are planted in the Vineyard. Allocation, liquidity, and timelines are mapped to what the Charter says your capital is for, not to generic risk profiles.
- Your accountant and estate lawyer work from the same Charter. Tax filings, trust structures, and legal documents are coordinated directly between your specialists inside the Portal, not routed through you.
- Governance is ongoing, not one-time. New assets, family transitions, tax law shifts, and corporate events are all measured against the Charter to preserve structural integrity.
We build the operating system first. Then install the investments, insurance, and processes to follow the Charter, not depart from it.

Connect on LinkedIn →I operate at the intersection of corporate management strategy, advanced Canadian business succession planning, and the human psychology of rapid wealth transitions.
I built ProsperWise as a Virtual Family Office to deliver what the traditional financial industry cannot: a systemized governance platform, for both personal and corporate sudden wealth transfers.
I work exclusively with inheritance recipients, exiting founders, and windfall recipients. Once the Charter is ratified and you are ready, I implement your investment strategies, insurance structures, and governance frameworks inside a Virtual Family Office environment as your Family CFO.
"We're very grateful for your steady approach and, above all, your patience... You're helping us all to learn how to create stability instead of chaos."
