Shawn is beginning a two-year term as representative to the AAPA House of Delegates, a position he has held in the past. He graduated from the Northeastern University PA program in 1993 and has worked ever since in the ER at MaineGeneral Medical Center until just this year. In January 2008, Shawn incorporated as UrgentCare of Maine, P.A., and started ExpressCare, a walk-in urgent care facility in Waterville. He first came onto the DEAPA Board in 1999 and served for several years as President as well as liaison to the Board of Licensure in Medicine. He was awarded the Robert J. Lapham Outstanding Service Award in 2002. Shawn and his wife Kerri (a former Vice President of DEAPA) have regularly lobbied Congress on PA issues since 2000. They live in China with their two children (soon to be three), and hope to find time to do some boating this summer.
