Born on one coast and raised on another, Shawn grew up along the backbone of New England and splits his definition of "home" evenly between the White Mountains of New Hampshire, the beaches of Cape Cod and his 1920 house, a mere 300 yards from the fine social establishments of the East Village of Davenport.
