Those who work with Shawn note that he's an especially good listener. Perhaps that's what led to his being voted "Most Trustworthy" in the ninth grade. Years later, the title still rings true.

In his 20 years in the business, Shawn has orchestrated all aspects of marketing communications from print, web, and environmental design, to broadcast and point-of-sale. He has developed and evolved brands for many companies including Sterling Trucks, Detroit Diesel, NASCAR Filters, Continental Tire, WIX Filters, Speed Channel and Cheerwine. Lucky for us, Shawn’s left brain is equally dominant: He is currently pursuing an MBA from the University of South Carolina.

Maintenance assistant at Lakedale Manufacturing. The word "assistant" means you have to do everything that the maintenance manager doesn't want to do.

My worst job.

DREAM JOB:

Pub critic.

SOMETHING NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT YOU:

I once got every answer right in a beer category while watching Jeopardy. The quantum physics category proved to be much harder.

My three kids. They are absolutely amazing.

FAVORITE HOBBY:

Mountain biking and playing the bass guitar. But not at the same time.

Hmmm. Probably Jazz, because that covers a lot of ground.

"If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter."
- Mark Twain

Anywhere in Ireland.
