[citation needed] In Shawn's teenage years, he first DJed at a local teen center after school and on weekend nights, and embarked on a career as a DJ.

Citadel moved him to their Northeast Pennsylvania headquarters to help with current station buyouts, format changes, on-air duties, and commercial/imaging production.

[citation needed] In January 2008, he was asked to come back to the same radio studios that once was the home of the station that brought Shawn to Citadel.

[citation needed] In October 2004, Shawn recorded with old friends Bret Alexander, Paul Smith and Ron Simasek from "The Badlees".

They named this recording Saint Jude Avenue, which was released Sept. 2008 with singles "Poison Water", "Half Baked" and "Uncle Willie".
