Charter Spectrum
Shaun Willis is a Full-Stack Web Developer, Worship Leader, Father, Husband, former booking agent and forklift operator. In his early years, he was seen as athletically fit and the hardest working player on the team.
He graduated high school with a soccer scholarship and became the second highest scoring player on his team. His love for learning and being creative lead him down a very familiar "Nashvillian" journey from desiring to become a successful singer-songwriter/worship leader in College to realizing a whole new creative avenue called web development as a career that would provided for his small family of two.
Now, in his glory days, he's seen as an ambitious but pragmatic nerd/developer who pushes his brain beyond his own expectations & capacity every day.
