Here are some photos of me and Kim. Enjoy!According to the Navy's Accelerate Your Life survey and quiz, below is the Navy's evaluation of what I'm like: ****************************************************** When you talk, people listen. When you lead, people follow.The pressure is on and you are on top of your game. Deadlines are your thing and you meet every one of them.You want to taste it, touch it, see it and experience it all. Now.You have a brain and you use it. You read books without pictures in them. You want to go to school, get ahead and do it right.You like being part of the crew. Your friends, your family, your people, you win, you lose together.You like living on the edge. Snowboarding. rollerblading and mountain biking - you are down with extreme sports and anything that gives you a thrill.No surprises. That is what you are about. You like knowing ahead of time what is going to happen and what is expected of you.You do not like to compete - you LOVE to compete. Competition brings out the best in you. ***************************************************** I'd have to say, the Navy's evaluation is pretty close to all accurate..it is amazing how a survey quiz can figure a person out like that...now, here is another evaluation of who I am...according to the Navy's Life Accelerator program, I rank as a "Persuader." As a Persuader, the Navy believes I fit the profile below: *****************************************************
Persuaders are often found at the head of a group, encouraging, influencing, or guiding the team towards its goal. Persuaders value success, and see themselves as energetic, ambitious, and sociable. Does this sound like you? As a Persuader, your activities and interests are probably the following: you may currently enjoy activities or hobbies such as: being captain of a sports team, organizing activities for your friends, or discussing politics. As a Persuader, your work environment would most likely be something like this: The way that ideas are sold, products marketed, people convinced or a team motivated fascinates you as a Persuader. Persuaders like to lead not by force, but rather by convincing, encouraging and working with others.As a Persuader, it is likely you will enjoy careers that allow you to: organize activities, lead groups or teams, sell things/ideas or promote activities, give talks or speeches, and meet lots of new people. You'd probably even like to run a business. Careers you may enjoy would be Legal, Entertainment, News and Media, Business Management, or Food, Restaurant and Lodging Management. You also scored 12 points as a "Innovator," 10 points as an "Advisor," 8 points as a "Problem Solver," 6 points as a "Planner," and 2 points as a "Do-Er." *********************************************************
I'd have to say I agree with most of the points about me on the "Persuader" profile. If you'd like to take the same quizzes about yourself on the Navy's website, use the following links:

Now for a little bit "About Me" in my own words: I'm a freelance videographer and director. I love putting video productions together and even enjoy editing video. I also own an online travel agency called ShawnR Travel & Entertainment It's online, so it pretty much runs itself. Pretty cool, huh!?! My travel site is at:
http://www.shawnrtravel.org
I also work with TooSpoiled.com as one of their National Talent Scouts matching talent on our site with job opportunities and auditions posted by film, TV, print and modeling agencies. Yes, I like having lot's going on at once, it keeps life fun and I've met a lot of talented people along the way! I've worked at KXXV-25 in Waco (a Walt Disney station) and for Atlanta Olympic Broadcasting during the 1996 Olympics. I hold and Associate's Degree in Journalism, a Bachelor's Degree in Telecommunications (Radio/TV/Film) and a Master's Degree in Communication Studies (with an emphasis on Public Relations). I also hold a Texas Teaching Certificate in Journalism. On the side, I'm an Ignite Independent Associate and can show you how to make money and help customers save money on their electric bills during deregulation of electric power providers in Texas.

WFAA8 News featured a news story recently about this electric opportunity in Texas, view the news video at:

Now regarding me personally, I'm someone who loves to live each day to its fullest and who tries to find the best in every situation. I've got my life together, but I still like having fun and I'm far younger at heart than by age, so I hate it when people pre-judge others by their age rather than by who they really are. I'm confident in who I am and I'm an optimistic person overall. I know anyone who I'm blessed to have as a friend always has my love and support behind them because my friends are the best! I always try to share the most out of life with my friends. Information about my education and professional work experience is posted on my resume at:

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I just love meeting people and making friends who aren't afraid to live life to its fullest each day and who can make something good out of any situation. I hate drama, so don't bring it my way. I love people who are themselves, who don't judge you before knowing you and who know how to appreciate their friends. I also enjoy being around people who value honesty, integrity and moral excellence, in other words, if you like to do what's right and stand up for what you believe in regardless of the circumstances or consequences, then you're my type of person! It' takes a strong person to stand for what's right when those around you may leave you standing alone.
