Shawn is currently a Level 2 USS Coach.  Having started ice skating at 4yrs old, Shawn could be found at all the free ice rinks operated by the volunteer fire department in his hometown in Maine.

Shawn moved to Colorado in 1995 and was recruited into an inline speedskating club. During this time, he won a few national rankings and became a pro inline racer. Shawn switched to short track ice with hopes of competing in long track as many of his former inline skating friends had. By the time the 2002 Olympics came around, Shawn's priority switched to being a dad.

Following the 2006 Olympics, Shawn was offered another chance to apply his passion for the sport as a coach with Colorado Gold and this is where he has been ever since. "It’s an honor to help support others in achieving their goals in the sport."
