After joining the financial services industry in 2002, Bryan quickly learned about “high risk” and “impaired risk” individuals, and how incredibly hard it is for them to obtain insurance.

Bryan has Crohn’s/Colitis. As a result, he found himself classified as “high risk” and was denied disability and critical illness insurance.

After years of research and reaching out to insurance providers, Bryan launched youareinsurable.ca. He did so out of the necessity for a professional, structured approach to finding insurance coverage for individuals whose health, occupation or lifestyle would paint them as “impaired risk” or “high risk”.

Youareinsurable.ca holds a unique place in the Canadian financial services marketplace; taking on cases that most advisors don’t want to work on (or simply don’t know how to work on). Partnering with organizations such as Crohn’s and Colitis Canada allows Bryan to get information out to people living with chronic illness or survivors of catastrophic health events, to show them that life and health insurance isn’t just a privilege of the healthy.
