Shawn was a graduate of Central Preston High School in 1990, then attended West Virginia University. Shawn was bigger than life and, because of his infectious personality, it was fitting he was born on Halloween

After getting his real estate licenses, he worked for Ginn Real Estate Company in Palm Coast, Fla. as a sales associate, then he became the director of operations and development. In 2009 he was offered the opportunity to work for Ocean Ridge Isle Plantation in Ocean Isle Beach, N.C. as their sales manager. Shawn decided, in 2010, to come back to West Virginia and start working for Consol Energy, which was based in Enlow Fork, Pa.
