As a rookie, Arnie witnessed first hand the infamous market crash of October 19th, 1987 better known as Black Monday. That milestone event and its aftermath provided Arnie with valuable lessons and a sense of vigilance toward risk management and trusted financial solutions which he continues to apply to this day. His overriding goal at all times is to create long-term strategies for investors’ unique set of financial needs and circumstances.

He was promoted to the rank of Chief of Emergency Medical Services for the City of Cote-St-Luc.
