About Me

Matt

Husband, father, woodworker, DIY investor. I spent eleven years in post-secondary education, fifteen in a profession that was burning me out, and one year traveling around the world with my family. How? Financial independence through dividend investing.

Qtrade is the discount brokerage I've loved for 15 years.
