Having lived and worked extensively in both the United States and Canada, Lucas possesses an intimate understanding of the financial planning tools necessary to navigate the complex financial landscapes, regulatory environments, and investment opportunities in both countries.

In 2019, he moved to Toronto, Canada, where he continued to serve clients with ties to both countries.
