Shannon Buchanan believes he is lucky to work alongside motivated individuals and help successful entrepreneurs achieve business goals. He has been with Kennedy and Coe since 1976 and was admitted to the membership in 1989. He became a member of the firm's Management Board in July 2001 and currently serves in that capacity. He specializes in auditing and strategic consulting to businesses thanks to industry experience in telecommunications, engineering, construction and manufacturing.
He and his wife, Jo, have been married 19 years and have two children, Claire and Nate. Shannon enjoys the outdoors and considers the perfect vacation relaxing in a lake-view cabin in the northern woods of Wisconsin. His choice of activities would be watching the sunrise on the lake, taking a walk in the cool morning, reading a historical novel then playing a round of golf. His favorite meal is steak with all the trimmings and a good wine served beside family and friends.
