About Gary
As a financial planner, Gary had approached retirement planning from the financial perspective. However, he often found that many of his clients were unable to tell him what they wanted to do with their lives in retirement.
Gary soon recognized that there was a similarity between the principles espoused by personal growth thought leaders and the principles found in financial planning.
In addition to being the author of Make Retiring Easy, Gary has written the script for two full day workshops.
Gary and his wife, Darlene, headed west to Calgary in 2006 where he became an Investment and Retirement planner with RBC Wealth Management. At the end of April 2013, Gary left the financial services industry to create Aspire Personal Achievement Inc.

Having recently retired we were invited to participate in an online retirement seminar led by Gary. The seminar contained a tremendous amount of helpful information that was not only thought provoking but practical and very useful. We would highly recommend it for those embarking on the adventure of retirement!

When you're in the workforce, the thought of retirement is like a beautiful dream - no more punching the clock, no more stress, time to do whatever you want, whenever you want. According to the ads in the media, it's all about strolling on a tropical beach, without a care in the world. In reality, retirement is usually not that "golden egg" dream, and a person can reach that last day of work, then wake up the next morning and wonder, "Now what?" The "Seeing Retirement Clearly" workshop was very helpful in clarifying goals and aspirations for retirement, and seeing how retirement can be very fulfilling and fun with a bit of thought and planning. What do I want my retirement to look like? How do I want to use my gifts and abilities? Are there things I've always wanted to do? How do I make these things happen? The course does not focus on the financial aspect of retirement, it's more about envisioning life in retirement, in general. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone approaching, or already in, retirement.

The content of Gary's Retirement Life Plan material comes at the participants from a "been there, done that" perspective, even though Gary, himself, is not retired. His background and life experience provides a lot of food for thought for those who are on the brink of that life change called "retirement." The material helps you look into the future, imagine, and then create a plan so that retirement becomes a meaningful, relevant and personal time to continue to grow significant relationships, to keep learning, and to serve others in new ways.
