Our bio

Shawn & Carmen have been in networking marketing since 1996. Like many people, Shawn was skeptical in the beginning. He was finishing up degrees in commercial aviation and business, Carmen in sociology and business. Life seemed to be “on the right path” for them. At Carmen’s urging, however, they started their business part-time seeing it as a way to supplement the meager income Shawn would receive as a young pilot. However, they fell in love with what the industry offers and how it changes people’s lives so after graduation they decided to leave their young careers and go full-time. After a few years of learning the ropes, a lot of failures, a few successes and many lessons learned they began to understand how to build a team. They earned their first million dollars in the industry before age 30 and were in the top income earners in their first company, Excel Communications.

However, after nine years Excel dissolved due to circumstances beyond everyone’s control – taking their high six-figure income with it. When deciding what to do and where to go Shawn & Carmen looked for a company that had a reputable stable history but, just as importantly, dramatic upside potential – not just in the USA but globally. They wanted something that would secure a life-long business they could will to their children by helping thousands around the world achieve the rewarding successful life everyone deserves.

After understanding the reasons and opportunity behind Roger Barnett purchasing Shaklee Corporation in 2004 they decided to take part in the rebranding of Shaklee in the US and help lead it’s global expansion. Seeing Shaklee as the perfect hybrid of "established stable history" and "start-up type growth potential” they began in 2005. Today they are more energized and focused than any time during their previous 18 years in the industry as they help bring Shaklee around the world.

Their global team of business partners is over 100,000 people strong and is nearing $100 million USD per year in team sales.

In 2012 and 2013 Shawn & Carmen were named both "Distributors of the Year" and "Leaders of the Year" for Shaklee Corporation USA and have been fortunate enough to create a seven figure annual income. Most importantly to them is the fact they have literally thousands of partners all over the world that have created for their own families anywhere from “a nice supplemental income” to “high-level CEO type income” by simply helping others be healthier, younger, successful and making the world a better place.
