As a young boy, Shawn first traveled the world through books. But it was not until he snuck out of his house to see Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1981 that his fate was revealed. He was called to a life of imagination and exploration. In his early twenties, Shawn began to travel extensively. He traversed ancient ruins throughout Europe, sipped tea with desert Bedouins in the Middle East, lived with indigenous tribes in the mountains of Central America, and crawled through Celtic passage tombs in Ireland. Wanderlust became his passion. In 2000, after ten years as a youth minister, Shawn became the founder and Executive Director of Wonder Voyage, a unique non-profit organization dedicated to leading pilgrimages across the globe. Thousands of these Wonder Voyage pilgrims have experienced a life of exploration, adventure, and sacred travel. His first book, The Via Crucis, was a bronze medal winner in the 2009 Independent Publishers Book Awards. His second book, The Via Advent, won silver two years later. His first children's book, I Dream of Water (2021), won the Independent Publishers Awards for 'Book Likely to Change the World.' Shawn has written, directed, and produced two award-winning documentary films, Ru: Water is Life and Acres of Diamonds. Shawn has been married to his best friend, Cheryl, for three and a half decades and is the father of four children and the grandfather of four grandchildren who inspire him to embrace life. In 2015, Shawn became an inductee into the world-renowned Explorer’s Club. After traveling to over 95 nations, Shawn feels like his adventures have just started.
