Who We Are

Mike embarked on his career in financial planning and investment advice in 1994. Over the years he has earned numerous awards and accolades for client service and operational excellence. In 2014, Mike attained the Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) designation from the Canadian Securities Institute (CSI).

Having managed his own and other people’s money for almost 30 years, Mike has observed long term patterns of success and failure that have taught him a number of painful lessons. He feels very strongly about wealth preservation and protecting his clients from learning those same investment lessons the hard way. He is always reading and continually learning to better serve his clients & lead his team.

Mike is active in his community, offering his expertise on various boards and participating in charity endeavours. He is married to Wendy and has 3 amazing children. Mike is an avid mountain biker, hockey player, reader, and cook who enjoys entertaining family & friends. He loves discussing current events, especially over a glass of wine and a delicious meal – at home or at the cottage.

Calvin joined the Hayhoe Team in 2017. He focuses on portfolio construction and can do so using a wide range of investment products, not just traditional stocks and bonds. This allows him to find unique solutions and alternatives that best suit his client’s comprehensive wealth management needs.

When not at the office, Calvin enjoys reading, running and working his way through every restaurant in the Kitchener-Waterloo region.

In 2011, Brian joined our team as a Business Development Associate. With a background in finance, strong analytical skills, and a passion for data management, Brian brings a unique set of strengths that allow our team to offer consolidated client reports – simplifying and bringing a clearer, big picture to the often complicated and paperwork-laden investment world.

Brian believes in Mike’s investment philosophy and approach with clients – establishing long-term relationships, built on trust and transparency. As our Branch Administrator, Brian carries much of the ongoing responsibility for overseeing the administration of our office.

When not at work, Brian enjoys a variety of outdoor activities, and spending time with his wife and daughter.

After 25 years in various leadership and administrative capacities, Susan joined the Hayhoe Team in 2007 to invest her depth of experience in a part-time role. As Client Experience Coordinator, Susan oversees the management of client relations and communication, along with event planning and CRM management. She values the opportunity to personally engage with clients and their families as part of a small, independent investment firm.

When not at work, you will find Susan hanging out with her husband & daughter, planning family celebrations, cooking, organizing, entertaining, watching her favourite sports or connecting with friends.
