Outside the Office
A professional musician, Shannon remains passionate about singing, songwriting and playing guitar.
He serves as a worship leader of his church and occasionally plays at venues around St. Louis. He devotes the bulk of his time, though, to traveling, watching Cardinal’s games and enjoying the outdoors with his wife and daughters.
A former owner of a hot rod shop, Shannon also is a car and motorcycle enthusiast. He has participated several times in the Hot Rod Power Tour, an annual cross-country journey that includes car shows and drag racing events (at sanctioned race tracks, of course) in multiple cities along the way. He also lovingly maintains a 1969 Plymouth Barracuda that has been in his family since it rolled off the showroom floor.

Community Leadership
Throughout his career, Shannon has handled numerous pro bono matters.
He was a member of a trial team responsible for defending and ultimately vindicating a young man who was incarcerated for over a year after being wrongfully accused of a crime as part of the Missouri Coalition for the Right to Counsel’s Public Defender Volunteer Lawyer Program. He has served as chair of the governance committee and vice chair of the board for Room at the Inn, an organization that provides immediate, temporary shelter to homeless women and families in the St. Louis region.
