Mini bio
How it started.
Shawn grew up in Houston and studied finance at the University of Houston’s Bauer College of Business. During an entrepreneurship course in his MBA program at Pepperdine, he set himself a goal: post on social media every day for a year. He says he began in 2020 and became serious about it in 2021.
Finding his audience.
An early video about the Cook Shack’s chicken and waffles reached 600,000 views. Over time, his work expanded from restaurant ratings into fuller looks at food, coffee shops and things to do. He describes his current approach as showcasing and curating places.
Working with the city.
In 2025, Shawn began collaborating with the Houston Chronicle on food videos, including outings with critic Bao Ong. He has balanced creating with a full-time job and says he pays for his meals, using larger brand partnerships to help fund that work.
Giving back.
Shawn and fellow University of Houston alumnus Darren Randle established the Houston Built Legacy scholarship. His university profile connects that project with his wish to support students and strengthen the alumni community.
