Shaymond Janes- Financial Advisor

Shaymond was born and raised in Kansas City, KS, the oldest of two boys. He earned a BLA from the University of Missouri, Kansas City in 1999, and has worked in the local area ever since. Beginning his career in the banking industry, Shaymond learned quickly the importance of building relationships and earning client trust. He has spent nearly a decade helping his clients organize their financial futures by providing education in the areas of debt reduction, home buyer basics and retirement planning.

In 2008, following the crash of the market, and the unfortunate destruction of many 401K retirement accounts, Shaymond recognized the demographic need for competent financial advisors in the Kansas City area. He took the knowledge that he had learned in banking and refocused it on the niche arena of safe money investment planning. He has since become licensed to sell life insurance and other safe money investments such as fixed and fixed indexed annuities, and works as an independent consultant to other advisors on behalf of several large insurance carriers. That being said, he is not loyal to anyone company and always puts the needs of his clients before all else. First and foremost, he believes in education and is constantly seeking to obtain knowledge that could further help his clients. He is currently in pursuit of a Masters Degree in Family Financial Planning, from Montana State University (GPIDEA program) and is also studying for the prestigious CFP professional certification. In addition to his duties as co-host for the weekly radio show, Shaymond is also the owner of a local planning firm, Janes Associates, which specializes in safe money choices for retirement, including methods for rolling 401K’s and IRA’s, plus customized income plans that last for life.

Shaymond is also the co-host of a radio show called Let’s Talk Retirement KC on Saturday mornings from 11:00-12:00 a.m. on 1510 AM in Kansas City. You can listen to live and recorded shows at www.letstalkretirementkc.com

Shaymond and his wife Amber reside in Overland Park, KS and our enjoying every minute of time possible with each other and their beautiful 10 month old daughter. When he is not spending time with family or educating clients (which isn’t very often), Shaymond loves to mountain bike, read, and cook melt in your mouth Kansas City barbeque on his backyard smoker.
