Pete Emes

Pete was raised in Calgary and has always had strong entrepreneurial appetite.  After completing his B.Sc. in Earth Sciences at Western University and working as an analyst in Calgary’s energy sector, Pete’s music career took off and he travelled Canada and the world, receiving accolades and even a Juno Award Nomination. From here he parlayed his success as a DJ into becoming an investor in multiple bars, restaurants and venues in Calgary and Edmonton.  Even during this whirlwind career Pete always held a keen interest in financial markets. He began to turn his focus into portfolio management with his own personal and family accounts. This interest and desire to learn continued to grow into a broader passion in wealth management leading Peter to complete the Canadian Securities Course. Pete’s ethos, values, and desire for continued learning align with Cresco Wealth Management’s approach to business. As an Associate, Pete brings an exciting element to our team, connecting his previous life experiences with a refreshing perspective and commitment to elevating our client’s experience.

Always believing in work-life balance – Pete enjoys music (of course), cooking, hockey, tennis, snowboarding and most of all spending time with his wife and two daughters.  Pete also believes in giving back to the community and has spent his recent years volunteering for various charities, as well as mentorship programs at the University of Calgary.
