Shawn Powers

Hola! I’m here to either wake you up in the Morning, to end your day or somewhere in between. I start my portion of the day at 6am & invite you in during the 6, 7 or 8 O’clock Clubs!  Once you check in for one of the clubs, you’re in it for life, unless you decide you want to exit.  Once a club member, you get special treatment (quick requests, shout outs, lots of love) & better chances to win contests, etc..etc…

Nickname is Shawnzilla!

What’s there to know about me?

I have an awesome wife, Patti who’s a school teacher. We moved to Mt Pleasant from Indiana in June 2017 & haven’t looked back!  We are both originally from a very small town in Ohio called Toledo!  Our daughter Emily is 19 and was born in Chas, SC (one my many radio stops); and Colin is 16 (born in Rockford, IL–yet another radio stop)! Mt Pleasant is now our home, tho.  Purchasing our 1st home here in 2019!

Came to Mt. Pleasant on a dare & a 6 pack (lol-just kidding, no alcohol was involved), from Terre Haute, IN (one of my many radio stops in this crazy business).  Served time in Akron/Canton, OH;  Flint, MI; Chicago, Toledo, OH; Rockford, IL; Madison, WI;  Charleston, SC; Charleston, WV & started originally out in Toledo, OH!

Started my career 33 years ago (December 1989) & have loved every minute of every adventure in it.

I’m a fella who loves to have fun, is real and not fake, and tells things (from my perspective–which inspires many a morning conversations). I’ve been told I’m an “Acquired Taste!” and that’ll you either love me or dislike me. Your choice.

Lover of movies & TV Shows (preferrably older TV Shows)! I’m a Jeopardy nerd & Wheel of Fortune guru (yes, I’m almost 100 LOL).

Things I like to do when I’m not loitering at work:  Love playing golf (watching it on TV is borrrr-ing). I do enjoy spending time in the yard (not the rec yard in a prison, but doing landscaping stuff, etc). I live, breath, eat, sleep & nap Michigan Wolverines Football! I’m a HUGE advocate for local businesses, keeping our dollars in our area.  Like everyone, been through alot of personal trauma through the Covid era. But have learned & grown so much in my faith during that time period.  Going to see movies is alot of fun (Large refillable popcorn & raisinettes are my favs).

Most days you’ll find me walking around aimlessly quoting movies from all time periods-especially comedies.  Soaking in a hot tub or playing in home radio studio in the basement.

My faith is a HUGE part of who I am & I love to contemplate the meaning of life with others. I love hanging out and meeting new people & just being myself.

A few of my favorite things:

COLOR:  Green

HOLIDAY: Christmas

DAY OF THE WEEK:  Anyday I can come in & play on the radio
