Shaun's Story

At Berkmar I was mainly involved in Wrestling. I was in the Singing Patriots for a year, was in three plays, was on the Newspaper staff, but wrestling was my main interest. I was JV my freshman year, and Varsity my Sophomore and Junior years. I left Berkmar right before our senior year, to move to Lubbock, Tx. I wrestled there, but the program was pretty lame. I graduated from Monterey H.S. there, and then traveled with the Continental Singers through the USA and Eastern Canada the summer of 1982. I went to Texas Tech University, and received my degree in Human Development and Family Studies. When I graduated I moved to Guam for two years as a Journeyman Missionary with the Southern Baptist Convention. I was a Youth and Music Minister there. It was there that I met my wife, Maria. She is from the Philippines, and had moved to Guam with her family 5 years before we met. After Guam we moved to Kansas City for a year and then to Boston where I pastored a Filipino Church for a year and a half. Then we moved to Top...Expand for more
eka Kansas in 1993 so I could be the Youth Minister at First Southern Baptist Church. Our daughter Angela was born a month later, in May. After 4 1/2 years at the church, I left there to be the First Priority director. After several other jobs, I went back to First Southern Baptist Church as the Multimedia Director. Two years ago, in June of 2009, I bought a 117 year old building in downtown Monett, Missouri, in the sw, between Springfield and Joplin. It has two storefronts on the first floor, and the 2nd floor was a hotel, with 18 rooms. We remodeled the upstairs to make it our home, with the back half walled off and used for storage. The first floor is two stores, with one rented out, and the other we remodeled and made an Art Gallery/Coffee Shop. We opened Nov. 2009, and that is where I spend the majority of my waking hours. My wife works another job, and then makes our pastries and soups in the evenings. Our daughter is now a freshman at Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Missouri, 1 1/2 hours away.
