Life rarely follows the script.Perhaps that’s where meaning begins.

A life shaped by people, choices, and unexpected turns.

At ten years old, Patrick arrived in America alone following his parents’ divorce. The years that followed were hardly a straight path. Relationships, setbacks, unexpected opportunities, and the people who offered encouragement along the way all helped shape the life he would build.

Today, Patrick J. Negado, ChFC®, RICP®, is an author, speaker, financial strategist, and founder of Canoe & Current Wealth Strategies℠. But the story he wants to tell reaches beyond financial success. His writing explores the choices, connections, disappointments, and discoveries that give a life meaning.

He believes a life does not have to unfold as planned to become something worthwhile—and that even its difficult chapters can teach us something worth sharing.
