Shon has found Saratoga Springs to his liking as he worked as a thoroughbred horse trainer for 10 years before becoming a financial planner in 1999. While working on the track for D. Wayne Lukas he handled such horses as Kentucky Derby winners Thunder Gulch (2005) and Grindstone (2006). His knowledge of the thoroughbred industry along with the lifelong friends he has developed at the track have made for a great combination of business and pleasure here in Saratoga County.

Family is also a huge part of Shon's life. He has two children Katie and Michael that both attend Saratoga Springs schools.

"I have a strong belief that a successful community creates a positive environment for your children."  Because of that Shon is a proud/active member of the Saratoga Chamber of Commerce and volunteers with such groups as the NY State Race Track Chaplaincy Program, TheThoroughbred Retirement Foundation, Maple Avenue Parent Network, and Kiwanis.

Shon is a Registered Representative and Investment Advisor Representative of Equity Services, Inc. and offers securities in NY, MO, SC, MA, VT, TX, CT, NC.  He is also insurance-licensed in New York.
