Biography
My name is Shaun Melby and I am the founder of Melby Wealth Management. At the time of my certification, I was one of the youngest CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioners in the country. I have over 10 years of experience in the financial industry while working closely with some of the biggest names in music. I believe the financial planning process is the best way to create and maintain wealth, so I formed Melby Wealth Management to help as many people as possible work towards achieving their dreams and obtaining financial peace of mind.
I moved to Nashville in 2005 from Wisconsin to earn a BBA in Finance as well as Music Business from Belmont University. My wife and I call Nashville home. During my spare time, I enjoy going to Nashville Predators games, cheering on the Green Bay Packers, and spending time with family and friends.
