Shaun began working for the World Co. in 2008.

He is new to Kansas, having grown up in Florida and Michigan. He remembers the snow in Michigan and the giant cockroaches in Florida.

He has a 12-inch scar on one of his legs. He tells people it's a shark bite. About half the time people believe him.

His nose breaks very easily. He has learned this lesson the hard way.

One of his favorite hobbies is handing out awards in the newsroom, though he has never won any.

He does not play video games and he feels strongly that other adults shouldn't either.

Shaun believes that it is a sign of manliness to admit that you love cats. He does. His cat has no tail, is very fat, and named Bumbles. He also believes it's manly to name a cat a silly name.

People tell Shaun that his best quality is his punctuality. He isn't sure if that's a compliment.

There are many things that Shaun is not good at, and he accepts that and plans no improvement in those areas, which include fixing things, cooking, and directions.

He bought his first cell phone at age 26, and only because his job required it. He eschews technology and prefers face-to-face contact, although he recently learned how to Twitter, and made 15 virtual friends in one day.

In his life, he has worked as a basketball referee, a pizza delivery driver, an undercover store detective, a social worker, a bouncer, and now a journalist.
