Shaun was born and raised in Lowell. Growing up in the Lower Highlands of Lowell, Shaun understands the choices and challenges facing youth of today. Shaun was a member of the Lowell YMCA, Greater Lowell Boys and Girls Club, and an active member in area CYO.
Starting a career with the City Of Lowell in 2000 in the DPW, Shaun became the Solid Waste and Recycling Enforcement Inspector and eventually was hired as a Building Inspector for the City in 2010. He later moved on to become the Building Commissioner for Lowell and then Chelmsford.
In 2012 Shaun and his wife Teri founded RAD Racing, a program to help youth in Lowell learn respect, work ethic, and mechanical skills by building, designing, and racing 1/24 slot cars. All participants must build, design, and race a car completely by themselves. Shaun gives credit to the YMCA, and Boys and Girls Club for passing these skills on to him as a youth and feels that nurturing young minds in a world of skill and competitive activities is greatly missed today.
Why Shaun supports Megan’s House:
“My eagerness to be a part of Megan’s House grew while in Lowell as Building Commissioner, working with developers to build and open Megan’s House and seeing the grateful participants of the program be able to enter a house that was a home and not just a program. It is one of my most memorable moments and continuing with the other projects initiated to help start this great organization. Working with many of Megan’s House staff and family in the City, whether it be voting aids to the clerks or any other great working opportunities given, one can surely see the energy and excitement in all who participate.”
