A die-hard sports enthusiast, Shawn bleeds the colors of the Kansas City Chiefs, Royals, and Kansas State athletics.

Outside the sporting arena, Shawn finds solace in yard work, coaching, officiating, and cherished moments with family. Professionally, his driving force is empowering individuals, be it someone seeking financial relief or an entrepreneur with visions, Shawn is ever-ready to turn dreams into realities.
