About Shawn

I attended two years of college at Southwest Missouri State University in computer programming and business. 



After college, I worked with a large furniture chain in sales and moved up to assistant manager in Davenport, Iowa.  Then, I moved to Lexington, KY as store manager. After being in sales and management, I decided to move to Reno, NY to be close to family. This is where I met the love of my life. Shortly after working with in furniture sales here, I got involved with importing teak furniture made from old farm equipment. I opened a retail store with my wife and imported furniture while building custom furniture for clients. After several years, we moved back to Missouri to be close to my parents. It was here that I discovered my true passion for building furniture and remodeling homes and opened my own remodeling business/ furniture building company for years. I was also lucky to become the lead installer with a custom cabinet company, where I mastered my skills. 


In 2021, I was offered a job with Kade as a trim/ finish carpenter. I’m looking forward to many years with Kade, making our customers’ dreams come true. I’m very happy with the decision to join an incredible team that will go above and beyond to make sure it is done right and the client is happy.


FUN FACT:  I love watching Sci-Fi movies with my wife, even though she does it to make me happy!


FAVORITE FOOD: Chicken wings!!!! Hot or teriyaki, you can't go wrong as long as they are nice and crispy.
