shawn stacye



Right after high school instead of going to college I decided to join the Marine Corps, I've been in for 4 ½ years now and I’m a corporal. I've been to 6 different countries and I've done sniper training, riot training, task force military police, turret gunner on helicopters, and machine gunner on convoys, to supply state side. I have loved every last minute of it, but along with that I've had to stay away from family and the ones I love the most. I was married/divorced when I first joined but that didn't last long, but I have a 5 year old daughter from that whole mess and she is simply amazing. I have a real passion for building anything and everything I can get my hands on. I’m a Chevrolet guy through and through, I currently own a 78 Camaro and I have a .060 350 SBC I am building with my father that will be put in the car this spring.
               



I’m a music person but I would have to say my favorite is the 60's when no one had to curse or belittle someone to have a great song. I found myself always saying I was going to start school but would always let it pass, but this is the year I want to improve myself and get a degree in business so I can open my own auto restoration and custom fabrication shop up. IV always been a workaholic so along with school I work a full time job at Ashley furniture in the corporate office, on my lunch breaks I throw on my 30 lb flak jacket and go on a 2 mile run just to keep in shape. i love expressing myself with tattoos painting and much more, If anyone wants to know  more just ask

  1. Shawn- Like you I am a workaholic. I think that we could get along well. I love music. My family owns their own music shop about an hour away, and I am a firm believer that for every moment there's a song. Hope to get to know you, and I hope you're successful at opening your own auto restoration shop! That would be really cool! :)

  2. I love your car!!! Thank you for your service, it never ceases to amaze me when I see the strength of young men and women who defend those that they don't even know.

  3. I also enjoy building cars! Right now I am trying to rebuild a 69 Chevelle with a 454 with my uncle, it will feel great to finally drive it, I wish you luck and thank you for your service! I think we need more driven people in this day and age!
