Shaun was born in Auckland, New Zealand, and lived in Tanzania and England before his parents settled in Calgary, Alberta, where he was raised.  These childhood travels fostered a continuing interest in (and appreciation for) diverse perspectives.

Shaun obtained a BA in Anthropology (with a Philosophy minor) from the University of Alberta in 2000 and then entered into the MA program in Philosophy.  After completing his MA coursework focusing on social/political philosophy, he began Law School at the University of Alberta and graduated with his LLB in 2005.  He articled in Lethbridge, Alberta and was called to the Alberta Bar in 2006.  After practicing in Alberta for two years, he moved to Victoria, B.C. and was called to the BC Bar in 2008.

Sport has always been a big part of Shaun’s life.  He started competitive swimming (in England) at the age of 8 and continued until he was 15, when he discovered (and switched to) water polo.  He played and/or coached water polo up until 2003 including competing and coaching at National level competitions.  He remains a fully certified Level 2 NCCP water polo coach with Level 3 Theory and Technical components also completed.  Shaun also acted as BC Hockey’s Harassment and Abuse Ombudsperson for 3 years.
