Prudential - Forest Glade Financial

LaShawn Lewis

Owner and President

In 2002 I took a job at a financial firm as a receptionist during the day and college classes at night. I worked my way up through the firm, studying and obtaining my licenses and becoming a financial advisor and partial owner in the business. After 20 years, God pushed me into an adventure of opening my own practice and what an adventure it has been!

My philosophy and firm belief is that grit, hard work and discipline will get you to where you want to go and if you do the right thing for folks, everything else will fall in line. I've tried to live that belief, creating and maintaining deep relationships with clients, who are now friends. I use my passion and experience earned as an advisor in all aspects of financial planning but especially enjoy helping folks with tax savings, estate planning that works towards legacies, and navigating big life choices like retirement, Medicare, and Social Security. I also have a big heart for empowering and encouraging women to discover their goals and dreams and to be a part of incorporating finances into their lives and not the other way around.

At home in Fort Wayne I have two little girls, future financial advisors, two adorable Siamese cats, and a husband that supports me with the family and his uncanny ability to fix anything.

Fun Fact: I'm a lifelong Hoosier, growing up on a farm in Indiana. My first job was detasseling corn and I still have a small grain farm in Warren, IN.

Favorite Hobbies: Some girls buy shoes, I buy birdseed and corn to keep my woodland animals well fed. I love bike rides and playground trips with my kids, volunteering for anything animal rescue related, my church community, kickboxing to keep my sanity, and if I have downtime where I get to sit, I love to crochet, read or tackle a DIY project. I believe masterpieces can be made with sandpaper and paint.
