In 2005, he moved to Alaska where he resided until February 2022. In Alaska, he utilized his knowledge of various skills – electrical, plumbing, roofing, metal work, brick laying – and built his own home. After returning from his great adventure in Alaska, he lived with his sister, Kelly, in Gilmanton.

He has always been very mechanically inclined. As a Jack-of all-trades, he took pride in helping family, neighbors, and co-workers with repairs on cars, small engines etc. as well as helping with building and construction. He was a Heavy Equipment Operator and did maintenance in Alaska. At Symrise Foods he worked in production and then the warehouse.  A classic car enthusiast with his most recent pride and joy being his 1976 Corvette. Shannon also enjoyed traveling and hunting.
