Originally from New Zealand, Shane Maguire is a co-founder of Gold Guys and a trusted expert in gold, silver, and precious metals. An entrepreneur at heart, Shane brings both vision and passion to the business, helping customers confidently sell gold, bullion, and fine jewelry while ensuring every experience is rooted in fairness and transparency. Known for his ability to challenge and inspire others, Shane plays a key role in shaping the Gold Guys team culture and commitment to integrity.

Shane’s journey to the United States began at just 21, when he arrived as a crew member aboard a square-rigged sailing ship built for the motion picture The Bounty, where he also served as Mel Gibson’s stunt double. Driven by the pursuit of the American dream, Shane permanently settled in the U.S. at 24 and went on to build a reputation as an entrepreneurial leader with a zeal for new ideas and community connection.

When he’s not working with customers or leading new initiatives, Shane can be found pursuing adventure. A lifelong aviation enthusiast, he flies his 1979 Maule Air M-5-235C, rides his Indian motorcycle, and collects classic cars. His love for innovation and exploration carries into his business philosophy, making him a leader who values both excellence and authenticity.

Darren Beenken is a bold visionary with infectious leadership qualities. He brings a fresh perspective and presents new challenges to the narratives involving the world of gold, silver, and bullion. With a professional background in public accounting and private contracting, Darren combines financial expertise with entrepreneurial drive. His work at Gold Guys Bullion, LLC paved a new path for customers to confidently buy and sell precious metals, building wealth through transparency and trust.

Darren learned early that wisdom often comes from learning from others and challenging one's own perception. He embodies the values of mentorship, growth, and integrity—principles that shape the customer-first approach Gold Guys is known for. His personal fondness for silver reflects his passion for precious metals and his belief that building wealth should be accessible to everyone.

Outside of business, Darren is a natural storyteller who enjoys movies, reading, lore, memes, and creative media that connect people across the world. He was banned from all social media in early 2021, because he expressed the unstoppable power of people uniting behind truth. His words now carry more weight as controversy came to fruition and time rang true. When he’s outdoors, you’ll likely find him on the golf course, working to shave strokes off his game. His mix of discipline, curiosity, and creativity influences both his professional leadership and his approach to life.
