I aim to be a trusted partner in every client’s financial journey. Through tailored strategies and clear communication, I transform complex financial concepts into practical and appropriate solutions. My focus is on building meaningful relationships and guiding clients toward long-term success with clarity and confidence.
I'm Avedis (Avo) Shanlian, born and raised in the beautiful city of Pasadena, CA, where I remain an active member of the community. My wife and I are proud parents to two wonderful children—our daughter Areni (3) and son Antranig (1). I enjoy everything that comes with being a father; from watching them grow, creating memories to bed time stories and the growing pains.
Outside of work, I am vey competitive and love sports—Basketball, Softball, Tennis, and most recently, Pickleball. I'm also a passionate fan of the Lakers, Dodgers, Kings, and Rams.
