Read a bit about Shawn below:
Question 1: What has been your favorite project so far at Chase Creative?
Answer: My favorite event happened when I was just freelancing with Chase Creative at the time. I was
called in to work at a private charity event which had Earth, Wind, and Fire playing. A year prior
to the event my band had pulled a publicity stunt in front of an Earth, Wind, and Fire concert. At
the charity event I got a chance to interact with the band and discovered that they had pictures
of our publicity stunt on their mobile devices. We successfully entertained the entertainers! I
enjoyed working with Chase Creative on those events so much that I decided to join the team full
time.
Question 2: Why did you choose a career in AV?
Answer: At the time I was looking for a job where I could wear all black and have it be fashionable. Plus, I get to tell people I work in AV and they think I’m way cooler than I actually am
Question 3: What is one thing that you wish people knew about your job?
Answer: I wish people knew that our job is not just about setting up equipment. We are also expert problem solvers, crisis managers, and comedians.
Question 4: What do you do for fun, in your time off from work?
Answer: I am addicted to music and entertainment. It’s the reason why I chose this industry. In my spare
time I’m usually attending concerts, performing as a musician or DJ, or checking out the latest
video game, although I’m partial to the ones with cool sound effects. Pew Pew!
Question 5: What is one thing on your bucket list?
Answer: I would love to record music in space. I’m not sure it’s been done yet, but I don’t have a problem volunteering to be the first.
Question 6: If you won $1 Million, what would you do with it?
Answer: With a million dollars, I would create the ultimate karaoke experience, complete with holographic backup singers and synchronized pyrotechnics.
Question 7: If you could learn to do anything, what would it be?
Answer: I would probably learn to be an astronaut because I really do want to go into space.
