Shawn began his 30-year career as a wildlife biologist studying rare and endangered species. Drawing on this background over the years, he’s recognized and grown his passion for finding pragmatic approaches to address environmental concerns related to energy projects. He’s supported impact assessments, permitting, and approvals for projects ranging from large dam generation, wind, and several transmission projects to more than 50 run-of-river projects.
Serving in multiple technical and operational roles, Shawn’s enjoyed the diversity of his work and people he has experienced on many high-profile projects. In his current account manager role, he’s focused on supporting clean energy clients such as BC Hydro. He values the opportunity to continuously learn and try new things.
Away from his project leadership work, Shawn can be found painting with acrylics and coaching youth soccer.
