VOLUNTEER HIGHLIGHT: Meet Shaun Danko! Shaun is a dedicated volunteer here at Habitat, you might see him helping back in receiving loading up donations or helping you get checked out at the ticket counter! Shaun started volunteering with us in October and has become an invaluable member of our Habitat family!
Shaun was born and raised here in Springfield, MO but traveled a lot in his career of setting mobile homes. Shaun owned and ran his family business for 15 years, until deciding to change industries.
Shaun grew up playing soccer, from kindergarten to high school. He was nominated to be a part of “Who’s Who in Missouri Sports” in 1989. He went on to become a part of the Olympic Alternative team in 1990. Shaun attended the Olympic tryouts for the US National team, where he had the opportunity to play against Mia Hamm! Shaun made it through weeks of tryouts, was accepted as an alternative, and was ready to start the Olympic conditioning program, when he blew his knee out during a soccer game. Although this ended Shaun’s soccer career, he still loves the sport and follows it regularly. He says his favorite team will always be the US National team, but he also likes Real Madrid as Cristiano Ronaldo is his favorite soccer player.
Shaun’s favorite band is Nickelback, with his favorite song being “Rockstar.” He loves books by American novelist, John Grisham. When asked what he is most proud of, Shaun said his two daughters, and one granddaughter.
Some of Shaun’s Favorites include:
Food- Pizza, pepperoni on thin crust
Movies- Any of the Fast & the Furious
TV Show- Family Guy
Snack/Candy: Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
When asked about Habitat, Shaun responded “I think it’s very helpful to a lot of people. There’s a lot of good deals here. I think it is a big asset to the community.” We are so thankful to Shaun for his role in helping Habitat further our mission in the Springfield community!
