Blair works hard to provide the very best service for our clients. His purpose is to keep our clients’ financial goals on track.

In his free time, you will find Blair coaching hockey or soccer or driving from one kid’s activity to another. When not volunteering, he enjoys playing hockey or heading out to the golf course, always entertaining his teammates and friends with witty banter and a well-timed joke. An ideal day for Blair is spent at a lake or hiking with his wife Laura and their two children Avery and Parker.
