He is a Fellow of the Australasian College of Behavioural Optometrists. He holds a postgraduate ocular therapeutics degree from the University of Melbourne and a Diploma in Financial Planning from Kaplan Business School.
During Shaun’s career, he founded Eyes4Everest in 2014, a charity dedicated to treating preventable blindness in the mountain communities of Nepal. His effort was recognised by Men-style Australia, which listed him as a Man of Influence in 2016. Shaun has also made IOS and Android apps for paediatric optometry. He is also a reservist for the Royal Australian Air Force and a volunteer for the Australian Armed Forces Heritage Unit.
