Nicholas has been my mentor since day 1 in our financial planning business. This would be my 10th year anniversary with TrueNorth Financial AIA! He has mentored me as a brand new rookie and still mentoring me as an agency leader now as I mentor and grow my team. He's not just my business mentor, he's also an inspiring role model to me in life. We've always work very closely and very well together. Nicholas is always very patient and nurturing towards everyone. As successful as he is, Nicholas is very down to earth and genuine, he's always helping and developing us to be successful in our own ways. I've mentioned many times before, joining Nicholas and the TrueNorth family is one of the best decisions I've made in my life, and it still is! This business, under the guidance of Nicholas has changed my life in many great ways and I've been brought up in this culture where I've learned to create the same kind of impact to others. Together with Nicholas, all our fellow leaders and teammates, we're always looking for like-minded individuals to be part of our team to create value and make a difference!

It’s been 12 years since I first started out as a student intern under Nic. I had no experience then — just a lot of uncertainty and curiosity. From the very beginning, he took the time to guide me, patiently and wholeheartedly. His mentorship didn’t just shape my professional growth — it had a deep impact on who I’ve become as a person. Looking back, I’m incredibly grateful for how much he believed in me, even when I was just starting out. That belief, along with his steady leadership and genuine care, laid the foundation for everything that’s followed. Thank you for making all the difference in my journey — from an intern, to a student advisor, to now leading a successful team. I’m truly thankful for all these years of mentorship. It has been a privilege and I'm excited to continue building TrueNorth Financial together with you!

He introduced a collaborative culture with a selfless sharing attitude among his district. Empowering us with a growth mindset to always embrace the MDRT whole person concept. Under his leadership, I levelled up beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Nicholas to anyone seeking a dedicated, knowledgeable & inspiring leader

Nicholas is a leader who will always make time for his advisors, and who will always go the extra mile to help you get something done. In a business where this is crucial, I am grateful and very appreciative of all that he has put in to help me grow and get what I needed to be done, the past eight and half years. Not only that, he has the acumen to explore initiatives that makes our job easier as advisors and that helps to bring the team forward as a whole.
