Shaun was born in 1986 in San Diego, California. When he was less than a year old he had to have two major surgeries to correct heart defect. After that he got into sports right away. Shaun was very young when he got into surfing, soccer, snowboarding, and skateboarding. He grew up with one brother and one sister. Shaun didn't have any ski resorts near his house when he was young. His family would take road trips up to near by mountains. At the age of four he was flying down the mountains on skis with his older brother Jesse.

At the age of six his sister had an attempt to slow him down so she put him on a snowboard. She told him to follow his older brother Jesse on his snowboard and do what he did. But that was a mistake, that only encouraged him to go faster. His parents loved his snowboarding ability and tried to take him to the mountains as often as possible. When he was seven years old he entered his first amateur snowboard competition and won. That earned him the wildcard so he can compete in the nationals. By the time his sister sent in a video he had a company that was developing kid sized snowboards. But he still had to practice and at the age of 13 he became a pro snowboarder!
