About me
Shawn was raised in Coeur d'Alene and completed all formal education in Idaho public schools, from kindergarten through college. As a small business owner for eight years in Coeur d'Alene, he has been deeply rooted in the community. An activist and community organizer since the age of nine, Shawn has managed multiple local political campaigns and ran for Idaho Secretary of State in 2022.
Shawn's family played a pivotal role in suing and bankrupting the Aryan Nations after a brutal attack on their aunt and cousin. In 2019, Shawn, along with other organizers, partnered with the Human Rights Education Institute (HREI) to launch Love Lives Here CDA, a program aimed at promoting tolerance, acceptance, and kindness throughout North Idaho and surrounding areas. He has also been featured in several documentaries about white nationalism and the redoubt movement, including Inside the American Redoubt by The Times (UK).
