Company History
Our history links back to 1975 with the founding of Edward R. Gerber & Associates. SYASL’s founding partners, Josh Shaw and Paul Yoder, purchased the firm in 1998, establishing Shaw / Yoder, Inc. Over four decades, the company has evolved and grown through successful collaborations with companies like Peterson Consulting, Inc. and Advocation, Inc.
When Andrew Antwih was named a partner in 2009, the firm became Shaw / Yoder / Antwih, Inc. Two additional partners, Karen Lange and Jason Schmelzer, were added in 2015.
In 2019, the firm was re-branded Shaw Yoder Antwih Schmelzer & Lange to reflect the partnership at the time.
Matt Robinson was named a partner in 2020.
