David Craievich has been working in the financial services industry since 2001. David is a partner in Craievich Financial Services (CFS) and holds his Elder Planning Counsellor (EPC) designation. I am able to empathize with clients forwarding me the opportunity to provide them with accurate financial advice that will address their immediate and long term needs. I choose to be a financial security advisor because I love teaching and helping people, and understand their personal and financial goals. I am a very proud husband and father to my wife Mary Grace and our two energetic and healthy boys. I get pleasure from volunteering my time in coaching hockey and soccer both at the AAA level as well as the Tyke and Instructional levels with my boys. After enjoying a 10-year professional hockey career, I feel the need to pass forward the knowledge and teamwork that my coaches have shared with me in both my personal, and professional relationships with clients and co-workers.
