Shawn has been successfully navigating high net worth individuals and families through major volatile market cycles since the dot-com bubble at the turn of the century. Because each client’s financial situation is unique and often complex, Shawn works closely with his clients, their accounts, attorneys, and other professional advisors to educate, design strategy, and coordinate implementation.
As a Private Wealth Financial Advisor, Shawn’s goal is to develop deep relationships with all his clients in which he plays a key role in their financial life. His objective is to provide clarity and structure to all parts of their finances. Many of his clients have already created their wealth, and therefore, when properly managed, his clients have the ability to live secure, comfortable lives while achieving their most important goals.
Shawn was born in Los Angeles but grew up around the world. He attended the Marshall School of Business at University of Southern California where he received a BS in Business Administration with a Financial Markets Emphasis. He also received a Theatre Minor from the School of Dramatic Arts, and therefore graduated as a Renaissance Scholar because of his widely separated fields of study. He holds the FINRA Series 7 and 66 registrations, a CA insurance licenses as well as the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® accreditation. Shawn is bilingual in German and English and is an avid freestyle skier.
