BUSINESS OWNER · HOCKEY COACH
I’m Brett Wackenhut—an insurance and benefits advisor, business owner, hockey coach, proud husband and father, and founder of Fusion Insurance Advisory Inc.
I began my career in financial services with a Canadian chartered bank in 2002.
In 2008, I founded Fusion Financial Management because I believed business owners deserved personal advice, responsive service and a lasting relationship with an advisor who understood them.
In 2026, I rebranded the business as Fusion Insurance Advisory Inc.—a name that more clearly reflects who we serve and the work we do.
The name has changed, but the commitment remains the same.
Based in Sherwood Park, I am licensed to serve clients throughout Alberta.
Outside the office, I’m a husband, father and hockey coach. Much of my time is spent with my family, at the rink, around the lake or involved in the local community.
I also share my office with Comet, our Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier. She occasionally makes an appearance on video calls, usually stretched out beside my desk. Just ask—I’ll show her.
Those parts of my life are an important part of who I am and help keep my approach to business practical, personal and grounded.
WHY INSURANCE MATTERS TO ME
My dad was self-employed and carried a $1-million term life insurance policy in the early 1980s, when many business owners weren’t having those conversations.
Thankfully, our family never needed to use it. But knowing it was there gave us confidence and financial security. It taught me that insurance isn’t really about a policy—it’s about what the coverage allows a family or business to do when something unexpected happens.
That lesson still shapes how I advise clients today. I want to be the advisor who shows up, explains what happens next and helps ensure the coverage does what it was intended to do.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF ADVISORY FIRM
Fusion is intentionally small. This is on purpose.
It allows me to provide the level of service I believe clients deserve.
I know my clients, their businesses, their families and the reasons behind the coverage we put in place.
When you call Fusion, you are not routed through a call centre or passed from one service representative to another.
You work directly with me.
That means better continuity, more personal service and an advisor who understands your history when something changes or you need help.
I help business owners and their families with:
Group benefits and workplace savings plans
Personal and corporate life insurance
Disability and critical illness insurance
Business debt and key-person protection
Buy-sell agreement funding
Insurance strategies that support business and estate planning
My goal is to provide clear advice, respond when clients need help and remain involved long after the coverage is placed.

One Last Question Before You Go
If something happened tomorrow, are you confident the coverage you have today would do what you think it will?
A quick second opinion can tell you where you stand.
I’ve been helping business owners and families protect what matters since 2008.
No cost. No obligation. Just clear answers.
