Eric’s Story

Success is measured in different ways by different people. For me, success in life is all about knowing and living by a set of values I hold very dear.

My parents, Ted and Sharron, were not only great business and community leaders, they were great role models and each evening at dinner I would listen with fascination as they talked about how much joy it gave them to help their clients achieve their financial goals.

Values matter… in every part of life.

Senior Financial Planning Advisor – CI Assante Wealth Management Ltd.

My folks impressed upon me and my siblings that working diligently as part of team and doing your part to help make life easier for everyone is key to ensuring that you and those around you achieve balance and lasting success.  What could be more important than making positive contributions that help your neighbours, your community and your family.

The lessons learned from my parents have stayed with me throughout my life and I am proud now to share them with my own children.  It is this rich legacy of values passing from one generation to the next that I believe is the backbone of Thomson Financial Partners.

I love this business.  Not only because my Dad started it, but because of the massive impact it has had on so many families, in so many positive ways.

I’m proud to be a partner in Thomson Financial Partners and head to work every morning knowing I’m doing good work on behalf of good people. At Thomson Financial Partners I get to work with like-minded individuals, colleagues and industry professionals all dedicated to great planning for our clients.

Not bad for a day’s work.

As a second generation small business owner, I fully appreciate the challenges and struggles clients face and knowing that I am helping them navigate a path for prosperity and success is very important to me.  I am fortunate indeed, and it all stems from knowing and living my values personally and professionally every day.
