Family Background

Where were you born and grew up?
Shaun was born November 12, 1978 in King Island, Tasmania, Australia. He grew up in various towns along the east coast of the mainland, due to his father being in the Air Force. He considers Bendigo as the place he grew up though.

Do you have siblings and are your parents still alive?
He has a sister, Leane (28), and a brother, Chris (24). His parents live close by and of course, mum, Gayle (aka Maxie) is also a streamer.

What was your favourite thing to do/play as a child?
As a teenager, he was competitively involved with 10-pin bowling, participating in 2 leagues a week and tournaments on the weekend

In high school, I would have been voted most likely to…
Shaun was really not sure about that one. In high school, he was known as the class clown and enjoyed theatre and drama.

Music background

Do you sing or play a musical instrument (been in a choir or a band)?
No, never!

Who were your major musical influences growing up and now?
“My greatest music influences came from my mum and dad’s car music choices… horrible radio stations we had to listen to on car trips.” But this gave him a greater appreciation for various music styles and the classics of rock. He says that his wife, Christy influences his tastes the most now, listening to more alternative rock than mainstream… bands like Pearl Jam and Hot Red Chili Peppers. At work, he is able to listen to music all day: CDs and radio, and there are some days when he comes home and considers himself “all musiced out.”

If you could play only one style of music, what would it be and why?

The Real World

Are you married or in a serious relationship? If so, how long?
Shaun and Christy were married September 14, 2002, having dated for seven years before this. Yes, high-school sweethearts, as much as Shaun hates that term. They have no children (much to his parents’ dismay).

Do you have children? If so, how many and ages?
The have no children (much to his parent’s dismay.

What do you do for a living?
Currently, he is the production manager for Baker’s Delight with a pending promotion to Store Manager coming shortly. Sounds like it’s well deserved!

What do you do for enjoyment, other than chatting and streaming?
When he does get to dust off the flour, he enjoys watching movies and has a very serious DVD collection. “Daytime TV is, to put it nicely “shit”, so I watch movies, read, golf with my father and clean the house.” Christy confirmed that, yes, he does indeed clean the house, but she was grumbling about having to fold the laundry while he was talking to us. Thriller suspense stories in both movies and books are the best… “Stories that make you think” are listed at the top as his choices. He also enjoys books with a fantasy element and that are quick paced. Going out to dinner, and watching movies with Christy fill some of his time, and holiday time is spent travelling.

Their out-of-the-ordinary honeymoon was a one-month trip to Thailand. They spent one week in Bangkok and then headed out for a two-week guided tour to western-Thailand. This included a trek through the hills and staying in the local villages. The trip ended with a one-week stay at a 5-star resort in Phuket. Shaun summed up their honeymoon as, “it was the most memorable experience of my life.”

Miscellaneous

If you could sit down to dinner with anyone, alive or dead, who would it be and why?
Shaun said there was not one person, but many he would like to meet. He said on their recent cruise, their dinner table was usually half empty. Their other dinner companions began filling those empty chairs with imaginary guests; Hitler, Stalin, and Lenin one night; musicians another. Shaun said that is what he would like to be able to do, sit down with some of the fascinating actors and creative directors of the day, i.e. Edward Norton, Morgan Freeman, Steven Spielberg, etc., and find out how they prepare for a role or find out how the directors bring out the best in the best.

Tonight you can do anything you want (no money/geographic restrictions), what would you do?
First choice would be to travel to meet all the great people from The Log Cabin. He thinks it would also be great to be able to take an expensive car and thrash its guts on the Autobahn. But then, he said, going to the Louver and seeing all the best artists work in the world displayed would be fabulous.

How do you really feel about us carrying on about your voice and your Australian accent?
Laughing, he said that sometimes he wants to tell us, “it’s just a voice, get over it. But other times it’s very nice. As interesting as it is for you to hear an Australian accent, it’s equally interesting for me to hear an American or Canadian accent.”
