Keep Your Eye On the Ball, Shawn Harris

Shawn Harris is the Assistant Manager at Cardinal Home Center Greenbrier Drive location and has worked for Cardinal for over ten years. When we asked Shawn what he learned during that time, the first word that came to mind was patience — thinking clearly and helping customers get through a project from beginning to end. He also cites this as being the favorite part of his job.

When Shawn isn’t at Cardinal Home Center, you’ll probably find him at the ball field, Shawn umpires little league. Hmm. The word patience comes to mind in this role as well.

But that’s not all; when we asked Shawn how he spent his free time, he chuckled, “There’s not much free time when you have three children.” Do we see a theme here?

Yes, Shawn Harris is a patient man. And when he is not working, umping, or fathering three, he also volunteers. He helps with Alyssa House, named for ten-year-old Alyssa Grace Divers, which provides free housing and care to families of children receiving extensive care at the University of Virginia Children’s Hospital. Shawn also volunteers with Start A Spark, an organization that provides quality firewood to families struggling to pay for heat in the winter.

Shawn Harris is a patient and busy man, but he says he is still learning every day. He is at his happiest when his family is happy. Thanks for being part of our Cardinal team Shawn!
