Frederick D. Shows

I was born in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and raised by loving parents in Louisiana. After graduating high school, I attended Southeastern Louisiana University, earning my Bachelor’s degree in Business Management and Finance. Following high school, I served in the Louisiana Army National Guard with the former 5th Mechanized Infantry Division.

My career in banking began in New Orleans with a local retail and commercial bank, but I soon transitioned to New York Life Insurance Company, where I worked as a registered representative from 1998 to 2005. Today, I hold my series 6, 7, and 63 securities registrations through LPL Financial and my series 65 through both LPL Financial and Good Life Advisors, LLC.

In 2016, after working as both a District Manager and Advisor at Waddell & Reed Financial Advisors in Greenville, SC, I realized how essential comprehensive financial planning is to meeting my clients' diverse needs. Every client’s financial journey is unique, and I’m committed to providing tailored solutions that reflect those individual goals and circumstances.

My wife, Jennifer, and I are proud parents to four wonderful children. In our free time, we love staying fit, traveling, and entertaining friends.

"I realized early on that wealth planning evolves through careful, thoughtful attention to detail. After spending the last 26 years working closely with a varying client base of corporate executives, family business owners, medical professionals, and their respective families, it's apparent that sophisticated planning should be done with a personal, professional touch dedicated to providing clients with financial independence, inspire confidence and ultimately financial freedom." - Frederick D.
