About Shanna & Sean

Shanna and Sean have been best friends, soulmates, and partners in crime since meeting serendipitously on a cruise to Mexico in 2008. After a couple years of long-distance dating, Sean decided to make the big move from the San Francisco, California area to Pueblo and has fallen in love with this community. Shanna is a lifelong Puebloan and is proud she has been able to make a life and career in her hometown. In 2018, they had a Disney-themed wedding at the Pueblo Convention Center, in the ballroom where they will be competing in Dancing with the Pueblo Starz.

Shanna has served as the President/CEO of United Way of Pueblo County since 2019 and has been an Adjunct Faculty member at CSU-Pueblo in the President’s Leadership Program since 2015.

Sean is a Senior Paralegal at Fredrickson Johnson Belveal & Terry, LLC in Canon City. He has worked in the legal field for over 20 years. 

Shanna and Sean are passionate about helping those in need - both people and animals - and are the proud parents of several rescued dogs and cats with unique health conditions. They love spending time with friends and family, bike riding, kayaking, rafting, watching movies, playing scrabble, and traveling.
