Shaun is married to a former LandDesign Landscape Architect, Allison, and they now are the proud parents of two girls. He is the type of guy who always has your back and is willing to lend a helping hand at any moment. But don’t let that fool you, he has highly competitive side which he uses to fuel his marathon training.
Frank enjoys spending time with a wife and two sons when he is not dedicating his time to public works projects. He is wonderfully optimistic and easy to talk to if you ever get the chance to strike up a conversation. He is so likeable that he has his own drink at a local pub called “The Frankenberry.” He bleeds LandDesign Green and shows his passion for sports by coaching his son’s baseball team.
