As a small business owner since 2005, I fully appreciate the challenges and rewards that come with running your own business. I can relate to what it’s like when facing tough decisions, understanding how much they can impact both your livelihood and your future. Like many owners, I’ve taken risks and put in the long hours, always hoping that the hard work and investment will pay off when it’s time to move on. That experience is what drives me as a business broker. I genuinely understand what’s at stake, and I use that insight to guide and support my clients through every step of the sale process. Central to my approach is my commitment to fiduciary duty—always putting my clients’ best interests first. Whether offering honest advice, protecting sensitive information, or ensuring transparency throughout the process, I take my responsibilities seriously. Business owners deserve a trusted partner during one of the most meaningful transitions of their lives, and it would be a true privilege to walk alongside you during this important time. I recently joined First Choice Business Brokers, a well-respected firm in the industry, giving me access to top-notch tools and support to ensure an excellent experience for my clients. At our Seattle office, we collaborate on every transaction to guarantee outstanding service. My Managing Broker brings over 25 years of experience and is a Certified Business Intermediary (CBI) from the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA). With this strong backing, I feel confident in delivering informed, professional, and results-oriented service to my clients.

Shane Schimke is a business broker with First Choice Business Brokers Seattle Metro, serving business owners and aspiring buyers throughout the Greater Seattle area. His approach is results driven and process oriented, shaped by years in two of the most demanding industries in the world: aerospace manufacturing and large scale logistics. A Foundation in Aerospace Manufacturing Shane built his operational expertise at Precision Castparts Corporation, a global leader in manufacturing complex components for the aerospace and industrial markets. Aerospace manufacturing demands precision, quality, and disciplined processes where consistency and accountability define success. This environment taught Shane how well run operations actually function, giving him a deep understanding of quality systems, supply chains, production workflows, and the metrics that drive a manufacturing business. That knowledge proves invaluable when evaluating, positioning, and selling manufacturing and industrial companies today. Scaling Operations in Last Mile Logistics Shane went on to focus on last mile capacity planning at Amazon, working within one of the most sophisticated logistics networks ever built. Last mile delivery is the final and most customer facing stage of the supply chain, where data, forecasting, and operations all converge. Here, Shane sharpened his ability to analyze complex systems, anticipate demand, and balance efficiency with service. He gained an intimate understanding of logistics, fulfillment, and the technology that keeps modern supply chains moving, giving him a genuine, lived understanding of the businesses many of his clients run. A Shared Philosophy Though Precision Castparts and Amazon operate in different industries, both instilled the same core principles that guide Shane's work today: a relentless focus on results, a commitment to supporting the customer, and a belief in refining processes and using technology to improve outcomes. He brings that same discipline to the business sale and acquisition process, making it smoother and more effective for his clients. How This Benefits His Clients Shane doesn't just understand the mechanics of a transaction. He understands the businesses themselves. When working with manufacturing, distribution, and logistics companies, he speaks the language of operations, recognizes what makes a business valuable, and presents it in a way that resonates with serious, qualified buyers.
