Though Shannon has jumped out of more than his share of moving airborne vehicles, his efforts on the ground are directed toward developing financing opportunities for the acquisition and succession of accounting firms. His years of experience in various lending areas, including special assets, provide a keen level of awareness to details in a deal and an advantage to knowing how to solve issues if they arise. Shannon was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, but has since traded the state (but not the team, Go Bucks!) for the Carolina coast where he enjoys pickleball, boating, and other outdoor adventures with his family.
