ABOUT ME
Dedicated to Securing the Right Opportunity for You
For over 30 years, I’ve helped students and families navigate the university recruitment and scholarship process with clarity and confidence. My work has taken me across Canada, the United States, and internationally, connecting academic and athletic talent with the right opportunities.
I believe recruitment is about more than applications and highlight videos. It’s about strategy, relationships, and finding the right fit — academically, athletically, and personally. During my time as Director of High Performance Recruiting at Ryerson (now Toronto Metropolitan University), I helped build programs that achieved provincial and national success. That experience continues to shape how I guide families today.
When you work with me, you can expect honest advice, strong relationships with institutions, and a commitment to helping you step confidently into your future. My goal is simple: open the right doors and help you walk through them prepared.

“This was my Mantra when I was offered an academic scholarship to Graceland Univertsity now I am an Honours Alpha Sigma Lamba Graceland University Alumni. If I could do it, you can do it! Today I am a teacher my childhood dream came true at the age of 42 in 2005. Believe you can and you will! Thank you, Brian Shantz, for the opportunity to learn to be my authentic self.”
