Our History ​ The legacy of McKenzie Shanahan is intricately woven with the personal history and enduring values of our founder, Todd McKenzie Shanahan. This company was born out of Todd's deep admiration and respect for his grandfather, Paul McKenzie Shanahan, a man whose life and values left an indelible mark on all who knew him. Paul McKenzie Shanahan was a visionary leader, a devoted family man, and a pillar of his community. His life was a testament to the power of hard work, integrity, and perseverance—principles that he passed down to his grandson. ​ Paul's influence on Todd was profound. Growing up, Todd was inspired by his grandfather’s unwavering commitment to his family, his community, and his work. Paul was known not only for his business acumen but also for his kindness and generosity. He had a unique ability to see potential where others saw none, and he dedicated his life to nurturing that potential, whether in people, businesses, or communities. This same vision and dedication are at the heart of McKenzie Shanahan today. ​ When Todd founded McKenzie Shanahan, he did so with the intention of honoring his grandfather’s legacy. He adopted his grandfather's name to ensure that the values Paul lived by—honesty, diligence, compassion—would continue to guide the company. McKenzie Shanahan is more than just a business; it is a tribute to a man whose principles and vision continue to inspire us every day. ​ Paul McKenzie Shanahan’s life was one of service, both to his family and his community. He was a mentor, a leader, and a friend to many. His legacy lives on through the work we do at McKenzie Shanahan, as we strive to embody the same principles of integrity, innovation, and community focus that he exemplified. Our company is committed to carrying forward Paul’s vision, making a positive impact on the world, and ensuring that his name remains synonymous with success and positive change for generations to come. ​ Strategic Focus ​ Our strategic focus spans multiple sectors, enabling us to create a diversified portfolio that maximizes returns while mitigating risks: ETF Market: We invest in exchange-traded funds that provide a balanced mix of growth and income, offering our investors quarterly dividends and long-term capital appreciation.
