James Butler
I’m a graduate of the University of Guelph with a specialty in marketing. I was among the first people accepted to the university’s incubator program for start up companies. This led to my passion for entrepreneurship as well as powerful insight into the financial needs of business owners.
As an Associate Advisor since 2018, I provide Clients with holistic financial advice to help them reach their goals. I give Clients peace of mind with meaningful advice arrived at through a deep understanding of each unique situation. Taking a complex subject and communicating it simply and effectively is my ultimate goal—and a welcomed challenge. Knowing that I made a difference for someone makes it all worth it. My industry experience spans six years.
In my spare time, I study for my accreditations. Beyond that, I enjoy playing golf and basketball, as well as taking trips out west to hike and climb the Canadian Rockies.
Selena Musselman
Serving as an integral part of Devine and Associates since 2008, I ensure that everything runs smoothly. I act as a liaison between advisors, staff and Clients to ensure optimal service standards. Client satisfaction is my number one priority. I am an exceptional multi-tasker and wear many different hats in the office. My passion is problem solving. I enjoy taking a systematic approach to developing processes that solve issues for our team and Clients.
My 20 plus years of industry experience includes an extensive background in both the insurance and financial industry. I hold the highest standards of integrity and pride myself on first class service.
Away from work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, mostly grown sons and two chiweenie pups in our hometown of Elmira. Making the most of summer - you can often find me camping, hitting the trails on a hike or having a BBQ in the back yard with friends.

Connecting with people is what I do best and managing multiple advisors’ schedules keeps me on my toes! I believe in the services we offer, our superior customer experience and the impact we can have.
I joined our firm in 2007 with a strong service background. Today, I manage our social media and marketing program, our logistics and help maintain our relationships with Clients.
I also facilitate our charitable work. I am always looking to hand pick charities that create real change in our community. Giving back brings me a lot of joy.
I enjoy keeping an active and healthy lifestyle and supporting local animal rescue centers. I have a creative spirit. Art, writing, makeup, design, fashion, music, cooking… everything.

Stephanie Urch
I’ve been providing exceptional Client service and a warm Sun Life welcome since 2008. It’s been my job to keep Devine and Associates on track and organized.
Because I love to learn new things, I’m a valuable asset to Client relationships. I’ve organized my way into a vital position at our firm, bringing strong attention to detail to every task. Checking off lists and implementing efficient and effective systems are what get me out of bed each day.
I truly love the high level of service we give to Clients—and knowing that I’ve really helped them. Plus, I work with great people.
Beyond the office, I love to read, spend time with family and friends, go for walks and hikes and watch too much TV with my two adorable cats.

Courtney Derks
I am the newest member and the face of Devine and Associates. I’m the first impression you get when contacting our firm and the go-to person for all Client interactions. I bring an upbeat friendly smile you can hear through the phone! I make sure that calls don’t go unanswered and don’t get the 1-800 call centre run around. To Clients, I bring direction by asking key questions. My knowledge is backed by experience in the insurance industry, customer service and business administration. In all situations, I bring ultimate Client care backed with positive energy.
Financial security can make a big impact on Clients’ lives. By knowing the ins and outs of Clients’ circumstances, I help people of all ages find their way. We are a great team at Devine and Associates and we work together very well.
Away from my desk, I keep life organized for our family of five. I enjoy cooking, music and social activities with family and friends—especially in the summer.
