Shawn isn’t alone in his on Spokes of Hope. His
seven year old son is with him all the way, he’s there
when the kids get their new bikes and a highly active
participant in the charity. Spokes of Hope all started
with the old school barter system in tattooing. Trading
for tattoo time has grown to land kids who might never
have had the freedom and joy a bike brings with the
wheels to soar. Shawn had many backs turned on
him when years ago he was trying to get in a shop
because of his learning and working in the old school
tattoo culture, but he managed not only to get a
position in a great shop, but he gathered the tools and
traditions of that culture that allowed him to create an
organization that brings hope and happiness to so
many kids and their parents..
