Shannon Chain

Shannon Chain joined First Command Financial Services as a Financial Advisor in February 2017, following a 12-year career in the United States Navy, where she attained the rank of First Class Petty Officer. Shannon understands the challenges and opportunities associated with life in the military and is committed to helping service members and their families get their financial lives squared away.

A graduate of Old Dominion University with a Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Shannon holds Series 7 and 66 securities licenses plus life and health insurance licenses in Virginia, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Ohio and Kentucky.

Understanding that the biggest obstacle to financial security for most people is their own behavior, Shannon serves as a personal financial coach to clients, continually reinforcing positive financial behaviors. Her thorough knowledge of military pay and benefits enables her to advise clients on how to navigate the Blended Retirement System, properly allocate their contributions to the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) and take full advantage of other benefits. Shannon will work with you to establish specific, meaningful goals that are consistent with your values and then develop a personalized financial plan to guide your pursuit of those goals.

In her free time, Shannon enjoys cooking, running, and spending time with family.

First Command Financial Services was founded in 1958 by a retired Air Force officer for the specific purpose of improving the financial well-being of military professionals and their families. Today, more than 500 First Command Financial Advisors across the country and abroad, many of whom also served, are committed to the company’s Mission of “Coaching those who serve in their pursuit of financial security.”
