About SHAWN
New to the automotive industry with a mere two years of experience. Prior, an Internet Technology career of 25+ years led me all over the world, which helped form a global mindset. I've lived in some interesting places such as Japan (1.5 yrs), Amsterdam (9.5 yrs), and Puerto Rico (3 yrs) - I still maintain a home in Rio Grande, PR. At age 17, I got my start in the USMC from 1985-1991 as F/A-18 Avionics Tech, campaign veteran, honorable discharge. After I went back to school and earned a degree in Computer Science. One of the highlights of my life was being accepted into the University of California, Berkeley, Computer Science, Bachelor Program leveraging my GI Bill. I have a daughter, who's a junior at the University of Washington. We share a good moral compass and an amazing relationship. Like myself she's a lifelong learner with an insatiable curiosity. Even as a Junior in College, she tells me she loves me 3000, so I must be doing something right. Outside of work, have many interests and hobbies: history, science, technology, cinema, cuisine & libations and music, my first love. I thrive on good conversation. I'm a jack of all trades, a renaissance man with a lower case "r'. To some I'm regarded as the Baby Whisperer...an innate God-given ability.
