Shawn has been in full-time ministry for over 25 years serving in many areas such as senior pastor, youth pastor, college pastor, evangelist, missionary, professional sports chaplain and a church growth consultant. ^{[1] [2]}

In the late 90’s, Shawn went to the Brownsville Revival School of Ministry in Pensacola where he earned an associates degree in ministry and served full-time on the prayer team at the Brownsville Revival. He went on to become a youth pastor in Texas and Iowa. His youth ministry, Reality, experienced amazing growth going from 4 students to over a hundred students in less than 2 years with city outreaches topping over 1,000 students.

In 2004, Shawn founded Teen Unite, an evangelistic parachurch ministry uniting youth ministries together in cities across America for a united evangelistic event. Teen Unite reached thousands of High School students across the United States. Simultaneously, Shawn met John Weber who was the team chaplain of the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers ^[3]. Shawn assisted him with the chapel program helping with bible studies and chapel services for seven years until John's unexpected death. Shawn continued assisting the team's new chaplain, John Tolson, for the next couple of years. Shawn also served as the head chaplain for teams such as the Dallas Desperados, Allen Wranglers, Texas Revolution and several other professional indoor football teams between 2000-2011.

In 2013, Shawn went on staff at Gateway Church in Southlake, TX as an Associate Pastor and Dean of Students at The Kings University. At the same time, Shawn and Tanja started Ignite Europe. Although The Kings University was experiencing amazing growth, going from a start-up branch campus to a main campus university with over 500 students, Shawn and Tanja made a life move in 2016 by leaving everything in Texas to oversee Ignite Europe full-time from Zurich, Switzerland where they now live.

In 2022, Zurich House Publishing released, The Mirror, Shawn's children's book to help combat racism by reminding children that we are all made in the image of God. Shortly afterwards, Shawn's book Go & Tell was released to the public through the publisher Zurich House Publishing with the aim at equipping all believers in the church to share the Gospel in their spheres of influence ^{[4] [5]}. Since the book's release, Go & Tell city-wide conferences and outreaches have been hosted around the world in countries such as India, Ukraine, Switzerland, Thailand, France, Germany, USA, Romania, Russia and more ^{[6] [7]}.

Shawn has several earned degrees including an Associates of Practical Ministry, Bachelors in Biblical Studies, Master in Business Administration (MBA), Master in Practical Theology (MPT), and a Master Degree in Divinity (MDIV). He is also an entrepreneur and small business owner.
