His distinguished career also includes senior leadership roles with the U.S. Secret Service and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, where he led large-scale facilities operations, capital delivery, and multidisciplinary teams in demanding, compliance-driven settings.
Shawn earned his Master of Science in Civil Engineering, with a concentration in structural engineering, and his Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park.
