Our Team

I am excited to arrive with K.P. Power after a tenured career within the Canadian Bank Financial Planning world. Having worked for 9yrs in Investment and Retirement Planning with a major Bank, I found the best advice is propagated from outside the traditional system where I can be truly independent and product neutral. My expertise has always led me to an integral review for the uniqueness and complexity of each individual’s life and financial story. Needless to say, I am ecstatic to pivot into this next chapter aligned with the values of K.P Power Financial Planners Inc. 

My commitment is to first and foremost empathize with who I am advising and regard their financial considerations as my own challenges. As a father I know the innate pressures with financial considerations (big or small) and thus work tirelessly to help our clients develop piece of mind. My focus is not only to inform your decision process, but also to advise of potential future changes and challenges.

Financial planning is and always has been my passion. The weight of any financial plan amounts to the weight and value in the passion and commitment from the advisor. My passion began with a focused Financial Service Degree at Mount Royal University and continued studies of financial/retirement planning and financial analysis. This is my passion, and as a raised Okotokian/Calgaryian I look forward to imparting real and positive financial change with the members of our great community!

The Calgary and surrounding community is and has always been my home from my own childhood and now for my children. I am father of three, hockey coach and community leader.

Most of us have experienced worry and stress in our lives due to financial issues.  We don’t know what to do or where to turn for help. To compound the problem, stress can cause health and relationship issues.

In 2007 I co-founded K.P. Power Financial Planners Inc.  Our Mission; to help our clients achieve Financial Peace of Mind – Despite the uncertain world we live in.   We work with our clients to clarify their financial goals and create a sound financial plan that will help them make informed choices when faced with life’s inevitable changes.   

My educational background includes a Master’s in Business Administration.  In addition, I am a Retired Certified Financial Planner; having completed the rigorous requirements of education, examination, experience and ethics.

My career and life experiences have led me to where I am today.  I spent 22 years in the hotel industry managing 5 different hotels in the US and Canada (my last hotel position was Manager of the Banff Springs Hotel).  During my hotel management career, I continuously worked to be the best leader and manger I could be.  I developed a love of learning, as well as a passion to coach and mentor others.  I now direct this passion to serving as a financial coach and mentor to my clients.

I was a part-time instructor at Mount Royal University in the Bissett School of Business from 2013 thru 2018. I taught Personal Finance, Income Tax Planning, Strategic Investment Planning, Retirement Planning and Risk Management and Estate Planning.

When not at work I enjoy spending time with my wife and best friend Patty, my three adult children and my grandchildren.  I also enjoy a variety of fitness activities, reading, music (learning to play the guitar).
