Professionally, he has given himself to youth related area non-profit organizations including The Hope Community Center, Boys & Girls Club, Pg. 15, Frontline Outreach Community Center, and the Professional Opportunities Program for Students (POPS). He led and sponsored Oak Ridge High School’s poetry club.

Shawn authored and published “H20: Immersed in Verse” in 2013, written and performed NBA commercials for the Orlando Magic, and performed in countless faith-based functions.
