MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Hi, I'm Harry.
CFA Charterholder, MBA, retired fintech founder, and — most importantly — someone who's actually sat in your chair. I started investing in 2010 with a bag of ambition and a love for spreadsheets, bought Bitcoin at $113, and built a diversified portfolio across rental real estate, ETFs, and tech stocks.
After exiting my fintech startup with my sanity (mostly) intact, I found my calling in financial education. Today I teach at SAIT and Mount Royal University, helped design Canada's first FinTech BBA major, and have mentored 23,884+ students worldwide through Udemy.
I specialise in making CIRO exams — IFC, CSC, CIRE, RSE, ISE, Derivatives — passable. With humour, real-life stories, and zero textbook jargon. Currently pursuing a PhD in Personal Financial Planning at Texas Tech University.
