Shaun M. Somers
Financial Coach (Canada)
I have joined RKL Financial because I am committed to helping people achieve the financial peace that I believe God wants us to enjoy. I used to be stuck in the cycle of credit card debt, and living my financial life paycheque to paycheque. Since finding and applying the concepts that we teach at RKL Financial, I have found my life to be changed for the better. Being out of debt, with cash in the bank for emergencies, has made a world of difference in my stress levels and my relationship with my wife. The fights about money that used to be regular are now replaced by teamwork and collaboration as we work on our finances together. Freedom from debt really has given me a freedom for life - freedom to live life with much less worry and uncertainty.
I am very grateful to Ryan for the opportunity to serve RKL Financial’s clients north of the border. I am excited to share God’s way of handling money as I coach individuals, churches, and businesses in Southern Ontario.
I attended Emmanuel Bible College in Kitchener, Ontario, which is where I met my wife Nicole. We have two boys; Lucas, who is 7 years old and Liam, 8 months old. We now reside in the Niagara Region where for the past 8 years I have worked as a Youth Care Counselor.
Interests
I enjoy reading about economics, politics and personal finance. I like playing and watching football most of all, but I’ll watch any sport if it’s the playoffs. Most of all I like hanging out with my family. I do also try to make time for regular Dave Ramsey podcast listening.
