He's known for his work in films like *Real Steel*, *The Five Year Engagement*, and WB/DC's slate of films.

Early Life
Born on November 17, 1984, in Southfield, Michigan – Shawn has always had a passion for filmmaking. His family owned and operated "Video Stores" throughout Michigan, this is where he spent most of his childhood. Growing up, he studied major Hollywood film releases through all three production phases: Pre-Production, Production, and Post-Production. Immediately after High School, Shawn entered and won a nationwide "Commercial" Contest held by the sixth largest Cable operator in the U.S. This helped him gain exposure to the film industry in Michigan, as Hollywood studios began to set up shop.[2]
Career
Shawn's big break came when a film Producer he met over an internet forum invited him onto a film production taking place in Michigan. Starting off the production as a P.A. (Production Assistant), he wrapped the production up as a VFX Pipeline Supervisor. The VFX team he was a part of was nominated for an Academy Award. The Detroit Free Press featured Shawn in an article discussing the nomination.
Shawn gained enough trust and showed enough knowledge to work his way through each production he joined. In between film stints, he kicked off his YouTube channel, which to date has garnered 3 million views globally. He continues to publish content that features filmmaking/photography tips and tricks as well as tech and gaming news.
His branding agency, Digital Storm Media, has worked with hundreds of businesses across the U.S. Working with businesses across multiple industries, his team has innovated the way businesses approach social media platforms. Working closely with "Meta", Shawn's agency's approach to branding online has created a domino effect – kick-starting a whole new approach to marketing businesses online. Digital Storm Media is now a leader in the markets they serve and continues to grow as Shawn has discussed expansion to international markets.
Personal Life
At home, Shawn is a husband and father to three boys. He keeps his personal life private aside from the occasional Instagram posts featuring his family.
