Advisors

Pauline Terry, CFP®

Certified Financial Planner®
Investment Funds Advisor – Investia Financial Services Inc.

I started my career as a financial planner in 1992 following in my dad’s footsteps. Before I was a financial planner, I was a counsellor which has given me many skills to help and find the right financial path for my clients.

I love listening to people’s stories and have thoroughly enjoyed creating their financial future with them for over 30 years. I also really enjoy meeting the fund managers and studying their process of how they invest our money.

When I am not at work, I love spending time with my husband Troy. We love travelling to Puerto Vallarta, visiting with our 3 adult children, Samantha, Colton, and Denver, or spending time together on the golf course. We also love to ride our horses and compete with and against each other in a game called Team Penning.

I also enjoy volunteering my time and money to make charitable organizations better. I believe living in Canada has given me and my family an advantage over many other places in the world and therefore believe it is important to give back with time and money.

Mark Nelson, BMgt

Associate
Investment Funds Advisor – Investia Financial Services Inc.

I joined the Future Focus team in September 2021. Prior to joining Future Focus, I worked for many years in both Banking and Auto Finance. It has been a great move and I am so happy to be a part of an organization that truly puts the client first.

When I am away from the office, I love spending time with my wife Cari and my children; Karsen, Parker, and Rockwell. We enjoy watching and participating in all kinds of sports, but especially love basketball. Before obtaining a Degree in Finance, I completed Diplomas in both Professional Cooking and Hotel/Restaurant Management. Although I have stepped away from cooking professionally, it is still a favourite hobby of mine and can often be found in the kitchen cooking with my kids.

Administration

Hollie Runquist

Head Administrator

I joined Future Focus in September of 2009 when I moved back to my hometown of Barnwell. I am the first person most clients meet when they come into the office, or the first-person clients speak to when they call in. I handle every aspect of the business from booking appointments, processing trades, and making sure everything runs smoothly in the office. I am a licensed assistant to the Future Focus Team and am very happy to help you with whatever you need.

When I’m not in the office I’m usually spending time with my husband, Chad, my children, or my large extended family. We love to travel and attend sporting events. In my spare time I love to listen to audio books and play my piano.

Jordan Baynham

Administrative Assistant

I joined the Future Focus in June 2021 as one of the Team’s administrative assistants. This experience of working at Future Focus Financial Planners has been eye opening as I have learned more than I could ever imagine about planning for my own financial future.

It has helped me learn all aspects of the business. I have completed my mutual funds licensing course and I am currently working on additional courses to eventually become a Financial Planner within Future Focus. I am excited to continue to support our clients and help them achieve financial success for many years.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with friends and family, exploring the outdoors, and trying different restaurants.
