I am Finn Shortman, founder and CEO of the 'Compassion Crew'. I am twenty three years of age, a father to a beautiful little girl and a family man through and through. Although young I have always considered myself a motivated person and have been working for myself in various industries since I graduated high school at eighteen.

Working in the disability sector is something I never thought I would be so passionate about, it is a line of work I sort of 'fell into' accidentally while working as a personal trainer with participants in the gym. One of my clients asked me to be their support worker and I've never looked back since. I have made real friendships with the people I work with and at times genuinely feel apart of their family, enabling someone to live their life without limits has been one of the most rewarding things I have done! It became clear to me very quickly that the experience I’ve had with my participants is unfortunately not the norm, in fact the horror stories I have come across consistently from many participants throughout the years has inspired me to do something about it and try make a real difference, thus 'Compassion Crew' was born! My dream is to provide; independent, consistent, reliable and safe support to as many participants as possible with an emphasis on participant choice and control! I truly believe that the 'Compassion Crew' can provide the "best of both worlds" from independent and agency managed support without the negatives. I'm not promising a flawless service, although I am promising a service run independently, full heartedly and by someone who truly wants to make a difference!
