Having spent his early years in Hong Kong before moving to Canada, Jay brings a global perspective and a lifelong curiosity about how people think, create, and connect. He earned an Honours degree in Philosophy before beginning his career in media and content production - an industry that taught him how ideas move people and how stories shape decisions. Over time, Jay advanced into leadership roles, guiding creative teams and developing brand strategy for some of Canada’s most recognized media brands, reaching audiences nationwide. That experience - translating complex ideas into clear, engaging narratives - naturally evolved into a passion for helping people bring the same clarity and purpose to their financial lives.
Curious about the broader forces that drive business and human behaviour, Jay pursued his MBA, deepening his understanding of leadership, finance, and decision-making. That experience became a turning point, inspiring him to align his strategic and empathetic skill set with a new purpose: helping individuals and families design financial lives with intention.
Now completing his Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) designation, Jay combines creative problem-solving with a disciplined approach to financial analysis. At Wealth Stewards, he supports the advisory team in developing holistic, human-centered financial strategies that help clients align their wealth with their values and long-term goals. He’s especially interested in the parallels between design thinking and financial planning - both processes that require vision, structure, and the ability to simplify what’s complex.
Outside of work, Jay is a dedicated husband and father of two boys, a lifelong musician, and an avid Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner who finds both focus and fulfillment in the discipline of training and coaching others.
