Owner and Winemaker – Abundancia Vineyards
 
After retiring from a career in law enforcement, Shawn now spends his time tending a small vineyard and commercial winery at his home near Gaston.  He also enjoys watching his wonderful granddaughters a day or two each week, making stringed instruments in his wood shop, and playing music on the worship team at church. “Working in law enforcement provided an up close view of the devastating effects of family dysfunction, in its many manifestations. The Family Room’s commitment to work in a loving and encouraging way with birth parents, building parenting skills toward the ultimate goal of reunification, and providing them a faith community for support, is a mission I am honored to serve.”
