Hi, I’m Ekenna Anya-Gafu, CFP, AAMS, AIF and the founder of Pacific Canyon Investments. I started this firm because growing up, I saw too many people make the wrong financial decisions, not because they didn’t care, but because no one ever showed them how. I decided to change that. After years in the industry helping build a firm from $200K to over $483M in assets, I launched PCI to bring honest, strategic, and empowering financial guidance to people from all walks of life. Whether you’re managing an IPO, a new or experienced healthcare worker, or want a better plan, I’m here to help.
