While at BlackRock he lived in Boston, San Francisco and Chicago.

When not helping clients with personal finance, Shane can be found playing golf or spending time with his wife and energetic German Shepherd mix named Pango.
John is an experienced financial planner who is passionate about helping individuals and families make confident decisions with their wealth. He joined Synchronous in October 2025 and works directly with clients as their lead advisor. He holds the CFP® designation and a Master of Science in Personal Financial Planning from Kansas State University, and brings nearly a decade of experience in comprehensive financial planning to the firm.
He began his career at a small wealth management firm, later moved to Vanguard, and eventually transitioned to planning firms where he worked with clients on an hourly basis. This experience shaped his view that investments are only one component of a well-rounded financial plan.
John was raised in Gainesville, FL, spent several years in North Carolina, and has since returned home to Gainesville with his wife Hannah, who works at the University of Florida. Outside of work, he is a recreational runner, an amateur cook, and an enthusiastic but mediocre chess player.
