Shannon unknowingly started his career by winning the 1996 Four Wheeler Magazine Top Truck Challenge. He then went on to dominate various rock crawling/rock racing events, such we WERock, Dirt Riot, Best in the Desert, Ultra4 and many more.
However, before these wins, Shannon realized his love for off-road motorsports and built his Jeep to conquer challenging terrain and to go places others could not. In 2002, he debuted his IFS buggy, and later by going full “Ironman” when he introduced a single seat rig. Shannon has been on the cutting edge of rock sports for nearly 20 years, and now is teaching is son, Wayland, and daughter, Bailey, the ropes of being a well-rounded person in the sport–as a driver, builder/fabricator, and big-picture thinker.
