November 2016 Member Spotlight: SHAWN M. SIMS

This tall, dashing guy we always see lifting heavy weights in the gym is a tax attorney in CT. Staying strong and healthy runs in the family – his grandmother is 102 years old. His son is a sergeant in the US Marine Corps and his brother recently earned his pro card in bodybuilding. When he is not in the gym, he keeps himself busy with yard work, walking his dog Ty, and taking a 4 mile stroll every Sunday. He likes going to sporting events, reading, and spending time with his family and friends.
