Shannon Smithwick

Shannon graduated from King College in Bristol, TN with a degree in accounting and a minor in business; he knew at a young age that numbers were kind of his thing. Having grown up in Brevard County, he returned in May 1997, looking to find a career. He began a position with John Hancock Financial Network in July of that year and has never looked back.

In 2013, Shannon and his brother Kevin formed Foresight Wealth Solutions. They have since further expanded their imprint on Brevard County by merging with the firm known as Gallo and Russell, all while continuing to bring a holistic approach to helping their clients in all facets of their financial lives.

Becoming an advisor way back in ‘97 has proven to be far and away the second-best decision of Shannon’s life. The first, according to him? Marrying his lovely wife, Tina, in 1996. He finds the adage of “behind every good man there is a good woman” to be 100% true. Together, they raised two sons, Cameron and Casey, who both served or are serving in the U.S. Navy.

When not helping clients or spending time with family, you will likely find Shannon either attending or watching his favorite sports teams, which are an eclectic lot. From Green Bay, WI to Bloomington, IN to Knoxville, TN to Atlanta, GA to Tallahassee, FL, Shannon has a good swath of our great country covered.
