Prior to working in Spokane, Shawn worked in television news in Yakima for more than two years.

He worked the overnight shifts during the summer of 2007 and covered the Minnesota bridge collapse as well as the failed London car bomb plots. When he returned to the west coast, he helped with the network’s coverage of numerous award shows and the start of the 2008 presidential election.
