Shawn is an excellent Regional Sales Manager with a remarkable talent for not only finding that special customer but to also understands what the customer expects in a product. Shawn brought in some challenging boats but with his perseverance and creative problem solving, we worked together to deliver what the customer requested. He always acted in a professional manner and was appreciated. Shawn was always willing to look outside the box. He had a clear vision of what the future customer would appreciate allowing us to deliver cutting edge products. I no longer work with Shawn but hope that I find more like him in the future.
