Born and raised in Windsor and Essex County, Shawn began his accounting career directly out of high school in 1998 with a national accounting firm. Shawn received his Honours Bachelor of Accounting Degree from Brock University.

Before starting Oldridge Accounting, one of Shawn’s other responsibilities at other practices has been information technology. He has always had a passion to find solutions that can help his clients succeed. He is also a business advisor with WEtech Alliance’s Venture Success Team.

Although Shawn has taken his practice full time, his most recent experience working as the controller of AutoMAXX Pre-Owned Super Center where he was involved with the family business’ day-to-day operations has taught him a lot. This gave Shawn a unique perspective when helping his clients. Although he was at the dealership during the daytime, he always made time to answer client questions promptly. That was the beauty of working for family.

When Shawn is not helping clients, he is an avid 5-Pin bowler as well, coaches 5-Pin Youth bowling on Saturday mornings at Playdium Lanes. He also loves helping in the community as he is the past treasurer of the Welcome Centre Shelter for Women &  Families and was previously the treasurer of the Windsor-Essex Red Shoe Society.
