NICE TO MEET YOU

NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, co-founder of Fit Wealth Advisors, and I help successful business owners and high-net-worth families make smarter decisions with their wealth.

Many of the clients I work with have spent years building successful businesses, creating income, and accumulating assets. The challenge is no longer making money, it's knowing how to keep more of it, invest it wisely, reduce unnecessary taxes, and make sure every financial decision is working toward a larger purpose.

With more than 20 years of experience in finance, I specialize in helping clients coordinate the moving pieces of their financial lives—from cash flow and tax strategy to investment management, retirement planning, and business succession. My role is to serve as a strategic advisor who helps simplify complex decisions and bring clarity to what's next.

Before entering the financial industry, I was a small-town Nebraska farm kid who learned the value of hard work, discipline, and personal responsibility at an early age. I went on to earn my degree and play four years of college football at Midland University, experiences that continue to shape the way I approach both life and business today.

My wife Amanda is also my business partner, and together we founded Fit Wealth Advisors to help individuals, families, and business owners build, protect, and enjoy the wealth they've worked hard to create.

Outside of the office, you'll find me spending time with our three kids—Hunter, Hudson, and Hinley—backcountry elk hunting, or training in the gym.

Wealth isn't just about money, it's about creating the freedom to live life on your terms.

I'M HAPPY YOU'RE HERE

Hi, I’m Amanda Hanquist

For more than 18 years, I’ve worked in financial services, helping people make smarter decisions with their money. But health, fitness, and entrepreneurship have always been a big part of my life, too.

Years ago, Shawn and I co-founded Fit CFO, an accounting firm built specifically for fitness business owners. After growing and eventually selling the company, I knew my connection to the industry wasn’t going anywhere.

Today, I’ve brought those worlds together at Fit Wealth, where I work with profitable health and fitness business owners who know how to make money but need a better strategy for what to do with it—from cash flow and taxes to investing and building long-term wealth.

I also co-host The Fit Wealth Show, where Shawn and I talk about the financial decisions that come with building a successful business.

Outside of the office, I’m a wife, mom of three, and competitive bodybuilder. I understand the health and fitness world because I live it and I believe the same things that create results in fitness apply to wealth: consistency, discipline, and doing the right things over time.

THE NEXT GENERATION

Hi, I’m Hunter Hanquist

I grew up around the financial planning business, but choosing to make it my own career was a decision I came to on my own.

I'm currently completing my degree in financial planning through Peru State College while beginning my career at Fit Wealth. After spending time away at college, I made the decision to move back home, finish my degree online, and take the opportunity to start gaining real-world experience in the profession at the same time.

While still in college, I worked toward completing the licensing requirements needed to begin my career as a financial advisor. It was an important first step toward the career I want to build and gave me the opportunity to officially join Fit Wealth and begin learning alongside a team I've known my entire life.

Growing up, I had a front-row seat to the business my parents are building and the relationships they developed with the families they serve. Now, I get the opportunity to be part of that work myself. I'm especially excited to learn the business from the ground up, build relationships with our clients, and continue developing the knowledge and experience that will shape the kind of advisor I want to become.

Before returning home, I attended Peru State College, where I also played college football. Being a student-athlete taught me a lot about discipline, consistency, accountability, and being willing to put in the work long before you see the result, lessons I know will carry into my career.

I'm proud to be back in Grand Island, Nebraska, excited to be part of the family firm, and looking forward to helping build the next generation of Fit Wealth.

GLAD YOU STOPPED BY

Hi, I'm Sarah Linden

I’ve been part of the Fit Wealth family since 2022, and I love every minute of it as your Customer Service Rep & Admin Assistant. My passion is connecting with our clients, whether it’s answering questions, solving problems, or simply being a friendly voice to help navigate their financial journey. And let’s be real—I also thrive on keeping things organized behind the scenes so our team can run like a well-oiled machine!

Outside of Fit Wealth, my world revolves around my amazing family—my husband, Todd, our three boys, Cooper, Max, and Beckham, and our three furry sidekicks who keep life interesting.

When I’m not helping clients, crunching numbers, or chasing after my kids and dogs, you’ll probably find me hitting the gym, going for a run, or baking up something delicious (because balance, right?).

I’m here to help, so don’t hesitate to reach out—I can’t wait to connect with you!
