Shaun Smith
Standing a few inches taller than anyone else at TruthMedia, Shaun is able to leap over smaller people, medium-sized playground equipment and little barking dogs in a single bound. He is the proud daddy of the loudest daughter (Kaelyn) and son (Joshua) on the planet, and is married to Michelle, who can be loud in her own right.
As a former youth pastor, Shaun desires to build community and discussion within the emerging generations. He is deeply passionate about digging for the 'real', and loves being around people who strive for authenticity.
Shaun also happens to think that the phrase "bok choy" is possibly the most hilarious combination of words in the history of humanity.
