We’re passionate about helping our clients manage their benefits journey and improve their bottom line.
Meet Steve
As a business owner since 1997, Steve’s entrepreneurial mindset -honed through Strategic Coach - has helped him cut through the noise for every client he serves. This focus and knowledge give his clients the confidence that his partnership will guide them to achieving their company’s benefit goals. As a proud Mohawk College grad, honoured with the “Alumni of Distinction Award,” Steve and his business partner have paved the way for students by funding scholarships and bursaries in a variety of programs and disciplines. Through the DeGroote School of Business (Board Governance Certificate), Steve’s clients in the not-for-profit sector know that he fully understands their unique needs. He is dedicated to his clients and to the community in which he lives and works. This is most evident in his current volunteer role as Honorary Treasurer for Renos For Heroes, which assists veterans in living better lives through home renovation. While a lover of jazz music and all things Tiger Cats, he isn’t afraid to take the lead, as evident in his past chair of the Tiger Town Council (group of 100 member ambassadors) and Mosca’s Meanies (council executive). Steve is the kind of partner who knows how to get things done, knows who to contact, knows how to manoeuvre any issue, and is the best person to have in your corner both on and off the benefits field.
