Unlike most young men, Shawn Strong took his mother's advice and became a plumber, but it didn't start out that way. He tried sales, graphic design, anything in an air-conditioned cubicle in front of a computer, only to learn later on that working with his hands provided a comfort and joy only those in the skilled trades can understand. In addition to plumbing, Shawn runs the Discord and sub/Reddit channels for the man himself, Roger Wakefield.
