Licensed Insolvency Trustee
After growing up on Vancouver Island, I made the easy decision to return to its natural beauty and recreational opportunities in 1993. Prior to moving back, I had spent eight years in Vancouver for schooling and articling with the international accounting firm Coopers & Lybrand (now Pricewaterhouse Coopers).
Licensed Insolvency Trustee
Prior to joining Derek L. Chase & Associates Ltd. in 2019, I was a founding partner of a boutique insolvency firm in Vancouver. Earlier, I spent ten years practicing exclusively in insolvency matters with a big four chartered accountancy firm. I have also been employed as an Official Receiver with the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy.
Licensed Insolvency Trustee
After completing my articling at a local accounting firm, I spent some time working in industry as a controller of a logging company. Subsequently, I joined Derek L. Chase & Associates Ltd. in 2017 and began working in the insolvency field. In June 2020 I completed my studies and was granted a license by the Federal Government to be a Licensed Insolvency Trustee.
