Duncan Robinson
Generational Wealth Specialist
Achieve Wealth Management Inc.

“Legacy is built through intention and preparation. As an endurance athlete, I embrace discipline and resilience – principles that also drive my work in financial advisory. I help clients reduce risk, build wealth, and create lasting financial security.

Life’s unpredictability became deeply personal when I lost my son to leukemia, a loss that profoundly impacted my beliefs and perspective on life. This experience reinforced my commitment to thoughtful financial planning and the vital role of life insurance as a foundation for long-term security and peace of mind.

I proudly support BCWHF because I understand firsthand how critical healthcare is for families facing uncertainty. My mission is to educate and empower clients to create lasting financial legacies that protect, support, and inspire future generations.”
