A natural communicator, Shane Tenny, CFP®, initially aimed to be a network news anchor before discovering his passion for financial planning in 2000. Today, as Managing Partner at Spaugh Dameron Tenny, he enjoys working with physicians, dentists, executives, business owners, and successful retirees across the country, helping them simplify complex financial matters through personalized, comprehensive financial planning.

“Our clients share two common characteristics: they are smart and busy. They want the peace of mind from knowing we’ve got all their financial needs covered, and they’ve delegated the stress to us.”

Since joining the firm in 2000 and becoming Managing Partner in 2007, Shane has guided clients through major financial transitions with clarity, empathy, and practical strategies. A student of behavioral finance, he incorporates an understanding of how emotion and psychology influence financial decisions into each client relationship.

A recognized thought leader, Shane launched the Prosperous Doc® Podcast in 2019, serves on various industry advisory boards, and has been an instructor for the CFP® Ethics Program. He frequently speaks to entrepreneurial groups and healthcare practitioners, and his insights have appeared in blogs, interviews, and TV segments. He is also the author of the upcoming business fable "Your Next Million," set to debut on November 12, 2025.

Beyond work, Shane is active in his church, enjoys horseback riding, hiking in the North Carolina mountains, reading, and almost any outdoor activity. Shane and his wife, Noël, have been married for over 25 years and are proud parents of four children.
