extensive
experience
in
the
U.S.
Navy,
most
recently
as
Commanding
Officer
at
Naval
Air
Station
(NAS)
Pensacola,
has
prepared
him
well
for
leading
AHF.
He
brings
to
the
table
deep
experience
in
analyzing
national
and
world
affairs,
as
well
as
a
strong
sense
of
community
service
that
is
in
keeping
with
the
firm’s
approach
to
financial
services.

“As
I
join
American
Heritage
Financial,
I
am
honored
to
carry
forward
its
mission
of
trust,
independence,
and
quality,”
said
Shashaty.
“AHF’s
commitment
to
clients
mirrors
my
own
approach
to
leadership,
and
I
look
forward
to
building
upon
the
remarkable
foundation
Craig
and
the
team
have
created.”

As
a
Naval
Aviator,
Shashaty

key
safety
and
operations
roles
during
four
carrier

the
EA-6B
Prowler

operations
in
Afghanistan
and

in
support
of
national
security
objectives
in
the
Indo-Pacific
area
of
operations.
Prior

his

at
