 | Dave Shore is the founder of Marin Financial Advisors. He was born in Oakland, but raised in Southern California until he left to attend Stanford University. Northern California agreed with him and is where he settled in 1981, now residing in a bucolic small town in West Marin.
Financial planning was not Dave's first career. After graduating from Stanford in 1977, he led white water rafting adventures in remote regions of the world for OARS, Inc. and Sobek Expeditions. Perhaps his experience in guiding people through life threatening rapids taught him the value of thoroughness and attention to detail. Likewise, he understands how to guide his clients (professionals, business owners, artists and heirs) with varying financial experience, through the confusing currents to financial security.
Dave has remained active in sports, with particular emphasis on rafting, mountain biking and running. Dave recently completed two 3 year terms as a member of the Board of Directors of Friends of the River, a state wide non-profit organization dedicated to preserving, restoring and sustaining California's rivers. He attempts to resist gravity by training for various physical endeavors such as triathlons and long rides.
