“Shaun was one of the first to offer to assist with Project Link It Forward when we launched....He truly wanted to help others with his knowledge of LinkedIn and had a lot to offer the displaced/transitioned workers. Some folks are out to resume build, but Shaun really wanted to jump on board and help for no reason other than to give what he could. Shaun has donated many hours to the Project not only training, but developing the curriculum, assisting the National team to move forward and has stepped up to be a speaker on behalf of the project. Always call Shaun if you need a guide on your side, I am glad to have him on our side.”
