About Rick

Rick is co-owner and President of Caldwell Wealth & Estate Advisory, Ltd., a boutique financial advisory firm based in Kingston, Ontario.

Next to being a husband and father, the role that fulfills and excites him most is to serve as financial steward to the individuals and families that represent his clientele. Rick understands that honest, hard-working Canadians are looking for someone knowledgable, trustworthy, and reliable to oversee, nurture and protect the things in their lives worth caring for and preserving.

With over 30 years as a financial advisor, he now has the privilege of stewarding the financial well-being of multiple generations for many families.

Placing a high value on sharing his passion and experience where it can benefit his community, Rick has been very active in coaching minor hockey, supporting the local United Way and Kingston WritersFest, participating in leadership within his church and serving as Best Practices Chair for the Kingston ADVOCIS chapter (the Financial Advisors Association of Canada) for several years.  He has also accepted the invitation on several occasions to contribute to various advisory boards and committees, and his family proudly supports Compassion International.

Rick and his wife, Carol, have two adult sons and have made Kingston their home since 2003. They enjoy spending their leisure time in the winter together at the local arena, and in the summer aboard their sailboat.
