Sean Penhale Board Member Company: Spectre Financial Growing up in Rural Alberta, I was fortunate enough to come from a family that had open discussions around money. Like any hard-working Canadian family, we had our struggles, sometimes there was more month than money. After my own mistakes after college I took it upon myself to learn about the world of finance and how it worked. I was in awe of the difference a properly structured financial plan could do for a family. Freeing up dollars, that were going to taxes or debt, and instead saving them was a huge deal for some of my first clients. I fell in love with the ability to teach Canadians what was never taught to my family. It has been over 10 years and that passion continues to burn inside me for helping families and business owners understand the options they have in reaching their financial goals. With the launch of Spectre Financial Inc. I am excited to continue to provide the same great service and value to my clients for decades to come.
