Shannon's journey in the shed industry started in purchasing, as a Procurement Coordinator, ordering all supplies necessary for shed builders and coordinating with plant managers. He then continued as a sales manager, where he sought potential Retail Specialists and trained them on how to be successful lot owners. He relied on his own experience as a co-owner/operator of three different sales locations in Illinois, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Currently, he is expanding the Shed Geek brand to serve multiple sectors inside the shed industry, including 3-D/point of sale systems such as My Shed Solutions, and lumber providers such as Union Grove Lumber.
 
Apart from being a successful businessman, Shannon is the biggest Shed Geek around and the host of the Shed Geek Podcast. He brings a variety of guests from shed haulers, dealers, manufacturers, and suppliers to the mic to discuss all things sheds. According to him, "What makes me a SHED GEEK is that it was just at a time where I was ready to invest everything I had into a career. The shed industry was easy in that the people were so embracing and welcoming; I just felt at home. I would have never thought in a million years; I would be so invested in something like a shed. I’ve learned that you cannot separate ministry and work, therefore, it’s not just the shed itself; it’s the process and really it's the people. From building and hauling to selling and every other area that touches the industry in some way, IT’S THE PEOPLE. That’s really it, the people who make it happen. If you’re doing your job, you’re ministering to them too, right? So that means they are ministering to you also. That’s what has been so cool, learning about them, their shed life experiences; that’s what makes me a SHED GEEK."
