I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Physical Education in 1994 from the University of North Dakota, Grand Forks. My internship brought me to Illinois in the summer of 1992 where I pursued an emphasis in corporate fitness at Abbott Laboratories. After graduating in 1994, I moved back to Illinois temporarily (or so I thought) to continue my training at the Abbott self-care center. It is here that I met my husband Greg (born and raised in Libertyville)… So, “Grow where you are planted” I said.

Life took me full-time into the corporate world doing medical sales and marketing, while still keeping my pinkie toe in the fitness world working part-time as a personal trainer at the Lake Forest Fitness Center.

In early 2005, I dipped my feet in the water, and continued my love and pursuit of working with individuals on a more personal (customized) level with MissFIT Complete. In July 2010, after 15 years in the corporate world, I was given the opportunity of a lifetime to be a bigger part of MissFIT Complete. I took a leap of faith and jumped head first into pursuing this opportunity and I haven’t looked back!

I feel truly lucky to be a part of such a wonderful company and work with such a top-notch team! I couldn’t ask for better clients and am honored that I have the opportunity help them achieve their goals. I love when someone takes the initiative to better themselves, and I will help and encourage them any way I can.

Shannon resides in Grayslake, IL with her husband, two children and their dog who give her the ultimate workout.
