David is an accomplished mortgage broker with over 30 years of financial services experience.
David entered the financial services industry in 1976 with HFC in Marystown, Newfoundland. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, he worked in a variety of financial services roles including personal loans, dealer plans and commercial banking.
In 1994, David became a mortgage broker. Throughout his career, David has brokered under CIBC, Home Loans Canada and most recently TMG – The Mortgage Group. Over the decades, the mortgage and lending industry has evolved, but one thing has remained constant: David’s focus on delivering great client service. David firmly believes in ongoing communication throughout every step of the mortgage process and tailoring his approach to suit every client’s unique needs. His “no surprises” philosophy paired with his ability to get tough deals done have enabled him to build a reputation as a top Canadian mortgage broker.
Throughout his career, David has been recognized multiple times. While with Home Loans Canada, he was their number one Broker twice, and was a top-ten broker seven times. Since joining TMG – The Mortgage Group, he has consistently been recognized as one of the organization’s top brokers nationally. A true testament to David’s value lies in the reality that his clients re-engage him for generations of mortgage advice. He is now helping third-generation family members obtain mortgages; something he is very proud of.
When David is not assisting clients, he can be found mentoring other mortgage brokers, driving his sportscar with the top down, or volunteering his time with a variety of charitable organizations.
David is a dedicated member of Shriner’s Canada. If you do not know him by the name “David”, you may know him by the name “Salty the Clown”. Salty is present at many community events throughout Halifax, helping kids (and adults alike) enjoy the lighter side of life. In addition to his extensive involvement with Shriners, David cooks for Hope Cottage, is a Mason, and is a former Sunday School teacher.
