FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

Mr. Shelton is a highly sought after motivational speaker and has presented to numerous legal and professional organizations throughout the United States. He has also lectured at the University of San Diego School of Law and the College of Southern Nevada. Frederick has been a paid business and motivational speaker at legal and other professional conventions for over a decade.
He has also been paid to do stand-up comedy at venues like The Comedy Store in La Jolla and Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

Mr. Shelton was once a homeless teen and was taken off the streets by a complete stranger. Reverend Clinton Jordan or “Slick” as Frederick used to call him, allowed Frederick to live with his family until Frederick was old enough to join the U.S. Navy.

Frederick has never forgotten that kindness and the corporate motto of Shelton & Steele is “All ships rise with the tide. We shall not endeavor to have the largest ship. We are the tide.”

Frederick volunteers on a regular basis and any Shelton & Steele employee who takes a day off to volunteer is compensated for their time.

Mr. Shelton has also been a regular volunteer at both Nellis and Creech Air Force bases for years, where he teaches those coming out of the military how to research jobs, interview effectively etc.

He has also volunteered at food banks and homeless shelters, and the Shelton’s have had at least one or two “house guests” living with them at a time for years.

These have been men, women and “At-Risk” youth who needed a safe place to stay or a hand up. Not a handout, just a hand up.

Frederick donates a portion of every fee he receives to Help of Southern Nevada (www.helpsonv.org), a non-profit that provides housing and other support services to those in need.

In his spare time, Frederick enjoys playing golf, chess, painting, reading, writing, and the occasional evening playing Texas Hold ‘Em tournaments at casinos on the famous Las Vegas Strip.
