Since beginning his career in the financial services industry in 1995, Shane has been known for the methodical and disciplined approach he takes in getting to know each individual, family and organization with whom he works. His attention to detail allows Shane to help his clients to formulate realistic goals and objectives, and custom tailor a plan that is truly unique to each and every client. Helping those who have entrusted to him their hard earned assets is a responsibility like no other, and helping those very people achieve financial freedom is his driving force every day. Shane has earned the designation of Accredited Asset Management Specialist^TM from the College for Financial Planning.
