Big Cajun Man as seen in the Globe and Mail, The Toronto Star and Money Sense Magazine! Hard Bacon mentions me in the Top 70 Money Influencers in Canada.
I have been blogging about Finance, Child Disabilities, RESPs and Consumerism for a very long time. I have focused more on things that are happening or have happened in my life; RDSPs, RESPs and Parents of Disabled children have been a repeating topic as well.
I am married with 4 kids and live in Ottawa and the following article in the Globe and Mail actually is about me, but you will find an actual picture of me here with this article by Larry MacDonald at the Globe and Mail Investment Centre, and a follow up article in December 2015 Investor saved his pension with an LIRA and e-Series index funds . I am also mentioned in print in the Toronto Star in March 2014 and Money Sense Magazine (print) for April 2014.
I have appeared on many podcasts including:
- How One Man Survived a Layoff After 20 Years at Canada’s Biggest Company with Doug Hoyes.
- The Changing house needs for the sandwich generation with Burn Your Mortgage
- How To Qualify for the Disability Tax Credit and RDSP, with Alan Whitton on Maple Money.
- Do I Lose My RDSP If I File Bankruptcy in Canada? which was a big question at the time, but it is no longer a worry.
I am available for interviews and discussions at this address: bigcajunman @ canajunfinances.com (you can leave out the spaces; it might work better).
Why Big Cajun Man?
As with most odd nicknames, this one came innocently enough from a golf game. I went golfing with my normal golf amigos (one of them being Michael James), and we were waiting for a fourth player who was an acquaintance of my two playing partners.
I went out to the putting green as we waited, and as it was a sunny day, I had on a large straw hat to protect my very Caucasian complexion from the sun. I saw that our 3rd had shown up so I started back to my foursome, when I heard the acquaintance say in a very loud voice, “What does that guy think he is? Some kind of Big Cajun Man?”.
Needless to say my two golf amigos roared with laughter and from that day, that nickname has hung around.
