A
native of Columbus, Ohio, Shook graduated from Babson
College in Wellesley, MA in 1987 and has been in the
securities
industry ever since.
Hired
as a Financial Advisor at Prudential-Bache Securities
in 1987, his experience ranges from Investment Banking
to Research.
R.J.
began his career as a financial advisor. Frustrated
that he didn't have access to top advisors from which
he could learn best practices, he wrote his first
Winner's Circle book, which profiles the best
advisors in the business. After a decade of Wall Street
experience, he just released his fourth edition, The
Winner's Circle IV, which is his eighth book.
R.J.
also collaborates with his father, Robert
Shook, a New York Times best-selling author who
has written nearly 55 books.
As
an expert in identifying success patterns and characteristics
of the industry's top producers, no one has accomplished
as much in-depth studies in the financial services
industry as R.J. The Winner's Circle rankings appear
as an annual cover story in Barron's
magazine, Research Magazine, and numerous other
publications, like NJ Monthly, Virginia Business magazine,
and recently in Boston Magazine, Connecticut Magazine,
California CEO, Minneapolis Business Journal, Hawaii
Business, and many more. As a recognized authority
on best practices in the financial services industry,
R.J. offers speeches, workshops, and leads panel discussions
on topics that are tailored for the audience and venue.
Shook
resigned from Prudential Securities in June, 1999
to pursue his writing career, and now The Winner's
Circle on a full-time basis.
