A native of Columbus, Ohio, Shook graduated from Babson College in Wellesley, MA in 1987 and has been in the securities industry ever since. Hired as a Financial Advisor at Prudential-Bache Securities in 1987, his experience ranges from Investment Banking, to Research, to creating and managing Prudential Securities' Web initiatives. R.J. began his career as a financial advisor. Frustrated that he didn't have access to top advisors from which he could learn best practices, he wrote his first Winner's Circle book, which profiles the best advisors in the business. After a decade of Wall Street experience, he is now writing his fourth Winner's Circle, which will be his ninth book when it's released in 2004. The Winner's Circle IV will profile the top 100 advisors in the business. His experience in profiling champions extends into the NFL, where he helps to profile football players with Dr. Kevin Elko. R.J., Kevin and R.J.'s father, Robert Shook, a New York Times best-selling author who has written nearly 50 books, are writing a book called Pep Talks, Half Time Lessons that Last a Lifetime. As an expert in identifying success patterns and characteristics of the industry's top producers, no one has accomplished as much in-depth studies in the financial services industry as R.J. Last September R.J. began publishing a yearly ranking of top advisors in Registered Rep Magazine in a cover story titled "America's Top Brokers." Beginning in April 2003 he is writing a Winner's Circle column in Research Magazine, each month profiling one Winner's Circle advisor. As a recognized authority on best practices in the financial services industry, R.J. offers speeches, workshops, and leads panel discussions on topics that are tailored for the audience and venue. Shook resigned from Prudential Securities in June, 1999 to pursue his writing career on a full-time basis.
