Shawn owns the business and he owns the problem. He truly is vested in allowing his clients to succeed. Long before IT understanding business became the norm, Shawn understood and bridged the gap between operations and IT. Shawn has a great technical knowledge, a high level of common sense and a willingness to "own" the problem and resolve it.
