Darren Weinkauf — President
I was quite blessed growing up. Spent the first 20 years of my life on the road as an Auctioneer/Appraiser touring through Alberta, Saskatchewan & Manitoba. Dealing with many sectors at the same time owning a fairly large livestock operation of 120 purebred Black Angus cows & 1300 hogs and putting up or buying a lot of the feed. Being the eldest of 3 other siblings I was able to grow alongside my entrepreneurial parents as they owned a Restaurant and Car dealership for 40 years and also did multiple business start-ups from clothing stores to furniture stores and so on. I believe there were 15 businesses they had started up then sold. I tried to venture into Oil & Gas but they wouldn’t take me lol even though I took every course you could at Enform in Leduc Alberta a big oil & gas training center it didn’t work but that was ok. Today I still own and operate our ranch but only a handful of cattle as well as a couple of other businesses that revolve around people's finances.
Over the last 35 years, I have dealt with a lot of good people in many sectors from Agriculture, oil & gas, to restaurants, trucking firms, and so many more businesses all seeking good honest Advice and I’m honored & privileged to do so.
They will always get looked after honestly even if it hurts. When they come to see me we will break down step by step their thoughts with everything from protecting theirs family, their business or business start ups. I love to see people succeed and through Insurance & Investments that’s a great start.
Joem Weinkauf — Founder
August 2001(one month before the 911) I came to Canada as a caregiver with only my Bible and a zipper-wrecked bag with a goal of financially bettering myself and financing the education of my siblings back in the Philippines. For the 1st six years in Canada, I worked 16 hours but at the end of each month, I was still financially broke. Until one night while I was cleaning this building which is across the building that I and my husband currently own, I had a realization that even if I am living in an abundant country/ surrounded with opportunities but if I still have the same financial mindsets and the same financial strategies, I will still remain on the same state, poverty. With that “aha” moment I studied the habits, the financial thought process, and the financial strategies of wealthy people. I also humble myself and surround myself with trusted experts. With the acquired new financial mindsets, trusted team of experts, and God’s grace I was able to turn my financial situation to 180 degrees. I was able to reach God’s retirement/ God’s financial freedom at the age of 41.
For more than a decade I have been financially educating and assisting in the implementation of anyone that is focused on reaching their financial goals and dreams is my ministry.
Are you lost in the Canadian jungle of financial complexities? Maybe myself, and my team can assist you.
