Major Shear

Licensing and Contracting Specialist

As Griffin’s licensing and contracting specialist, Major ensures that all aspects of advisor licensing, carrier contracting, and continuing education requirements run as smoothly and efficiently as possible. What advisors say Major does is take things from step one all the way through to completion. He communicates well and can be relied on to get things done.

Prior to joining Griffin, Major served in operational and contracting roles with Lincoln Financial. He graduated from Indiana University–Purdue University Fort Wayne with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and an Associate’s degree in Accounting with a minor in Psychology.

Led by honesty, loyalty, and integrity, it is no surprise that philanthropy is near and dear to Major’s heart. He previously created a non-profit called “Summit Coins,” which helped raise tokens to purchase clothing and survival gear for the homeless. He advocates for others who cannot advocate for themselves.

When he is not in the office, Major enjoys learning about electronic currency and day trading. He loves the outdoors and the local experiences the city of Fort Wayne has to offer.
