Shawn’s initial exposure to the field of experiential education came in the 80s when he was a student at Unity College in Maine. Upon graduating from Unity with a B.S. degree in Outdoor Recreation he worked as an instructor for the Pacific Crest Outward Bound School in California, Oregon, and Washington. Shawn’s long history with Outward Bound over the years has included working as an instructor, course director, and program director. After a brief stint managing the land-based outdoor programs at the University of California at Berkeley in the mid 90s he moved to Boulder, CO and spent 3 years working as a professional mountain guide with the Colorado Mountain School guiding rock, ice, and mountaineering courses as well as leading international climbing expeditions.

A few of Shawn’s passions include: experiential education (duh!), climbing, permaculture, and music.
