CFA, Founder and Portfolio Manager
Greg brings a depth of experience and a disciplined investment mindset to Red Barn Investment Counsel, grounded in capital preservation, thoughtful risk management, and sustainable long-term growth. His education, professional training, and decades of hands-on experience form the foundation of a pragmatic and client-focused investment approach.

Greg earned his Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Calgary and became a Chartered Accountant in 1982. He went on to co-found Peterson and Flower Chartered Accountants, successfully operating the firm from 1983 to 1988. From 1988 to 1993, Greg served as Assistant Auditor General of Bermuda, gaining valuable international experience in public finance, governance, and accountability.
While in Bermuda, Greg earned the Chartered Financial Analyst designation in 1992. Returning to Canada, he began building his financial services practice, working as an Investment Advisor from 1993 to 2000. In 2001, he achieved a long-standing professional goal by becoming a Portfolio Manager, allowing him to directly apply his investment philosophy on behalf of clients. His ultimate goal, the founding of Red Barn Investment Counsel was achieved in 2019.
Born and raised in Calgary, Greg and his wife Catherine raised their three sons there and remain deeply connected to the community. They are also proud grandparents of four. Outside the office, Greg enjoys staying active through mountain biking, golf, and skiing—activities that reflect the balance, discipline, and long-term perspective he brings to his work as a portfolio manager.
Financial Life Planner
Through a strategic alliance, Red Barn Investment Counsel has engaged the expertise and wisdom of Wealthy Tortoise Financial Group Inc., and Bryce Medd, as a financial life planner and risk management specialist.

Bryce is a charter holder of the Registered Financial Planner (R.F.P.) and Trust and Estate Practitioner (TEP) designations.
With a “seek first to understand” approach to business and life, Bryce adds invaluable experience and expertise through questioning, hence his CQO title – Chief Questioning Officer
CIM®, Associate Portfolio Manager
I believe wealth is about more than a portfolio. It's about having the clarity to live a fulfilling life. As an Associate Portfolio Manager and Chartered Investment Manager (CIM®) designation holder, I see my role as a Chief Clarity Officer: helping families see the full picture, understand what matters most, and move forward with confidence.

At Red Barn Investment Counsel, I bring a pension fund's discipline to the families I work with. A pension fund starts with one question: what do we have to pay for, and when? Your household can start with the same question. Instead of measuring success against a benchmark, we begin with your goals (the home, the kids, aging parents, retirement, your legacy) and build your portfolio around when each one comes due.
I immigrated to Canada with my parents at a young age and, after a brief stint in Toronto, I'm proud to call Calgary home. Giving back to this community is deeply personal. I serve as Chairman of the Board for a youth basketball non-profit, and I'm a passionate advocate for Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) research. Helping fund the search for a cure has become a lifelong mission, and I'm hopeful that one day we'll find it.
Away from the office, you'll find me on the basketball court or in the gym. Training has taught me that even the smallest changes for the better compound over time and lead to massive results, a lesson that applies just as much to financial planning.
And when I'm not working, playing basketball, or lifting, I'm in my kitchen exploring new recipes as Calgary's most ambitious home cook. In the kitchen and in planning, the best results come from the right ingredients, careful preparation, and genuine passion.
Client Operations Coordinator
My approach to operations is grounded in a simple principle: efficiency is the backbone of exceptional client service. With a bachelor's degree in business management from Western University and a passion for creating structure in dynamic environments, I focus on building systems that keep everything running seamlessly behind the scenes. Attention to detail and organizational excellence aren’t just skills, they’re the tools I use to ensure our team can deliver on its promises every single day.

As Operations Manager at Red Barn, I help facilitate the link between vision and execution. My role is to translate strategic goals into actionable processes that support both our advisors and our clients. Whether it’s streamlining workflows or implementing new solutions, I thrive on the challenge of making complex operations simple and effective.
I was born and raised in the Okanagan and made the exciting move to Calgary in September 2024. This transition has been an opportunity to grow personally and professionally while embracing a vibrant new community. Outside of work, my friends and family are what bring me the most joy and I spend most of my free time with them. Whether it’s sharing a meal, exploring the outdoors, or simply enjoying quality time together, you'll usually catch me with a smile on my face.
