Meet Our Team
Shelby Green
Founder, Retirement Expert
Being born into poverty, I have a strong respect for finance. Growing up I didn’t have a bad life, but I definitely didn’t have it easy. My parents divorced when I was around 12 years old, and this began to make things pretty shaky going into my middle school years. Growing up I saw when things were tough, and it made me more passionate to learn about finance. I believed that studying finance would help me and those I’m affiliated with avoid financial struggles. So, I went to the school of USC-Aiken with a bachelor’s degree in finance.
My parents gave me a strong sense of what to prioritize, but even though they retired in their early 60s, they ended up going back to work in their 70s due to insufficient financial planning. This is a reality I strive to prevent for every retiree I work with. I strive to ensure that no one I work with faces the hardship of outliving their savings or being forced back into work during retirement.
I specialize in helping retirees and those nearing retirement secure their financial future with confidence. Whether it’s ensuring a reliable income stream, protecting assets, or planning for healthcare costs, I take a personalized approach to understanding what matters most to each client. My mission is to provide the guidance and strategies needed so they can enjoy their golden years without financial stress.
Financial security in retirement isn’t just about numbers—it’s about peace of mind. I’m here to help retirees make informed decisions so they can enjoy life on their terms, without the fear of outliving their savings.
Let’s create a retirement plan that truly works for you.

Growing up in poverty, I understood early on that financial freedom requires hard work, knowledge, and determination. Breaking the cycle of poverty isn’t just about personal success—it’s about building generational wealth and ensuring financial security for the future. “Knowledge is useless if it is not shared.”
With two years of experience at Toyota Financial, I developed a passion for helping others navigate their financial situations. Now, as Executive Assistant, I am dedicated to supporting retirees in achieving financial stability and peace of mind. I assist in developing personalized retirement strategies that help clients protect their wealth, create reliable income streams, and enjoy their golden years without financial stress.
As a licensed financial professional and Executive Assistant I am committed to helping retirees make informed decisions that align with their long-term goals. Retirement should be a time of freedom, not financial uncertainty, and I take pride in being part of a team that ensures clients retire with confidence.
Let’s work together to create a secure and fulfilling retirement!

Retirement Professional
With a background in oncology nursing, I transitioned into financial services in 2009 after witnessing the lack of financial literacy among my colleagues and patients. Seeing how financial insecurity impacted families—especially during times of illness—ignited my passion for educating and empowering people to make informed financial decisions.
For over a decade, I have helped individuals and families navigate retirement planning, insurance solutions, and financial security strategies. My goal is to ensure people understand how to protect their income, build wealth, and create a secure financial future—from young professionals to retirees.
Beyond one-on-one consultations, I have spoken at conferences, staff meetings, and community events, sharing valuable insights on retirement and financial protection. My mission is to bridge the gap in financial education, equipping people with the knowledge and confidence to make the best financial decisions for themselves and their families.
