Board Bio — David Shankin

Tell Us A Little About Yourself: I graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with an emphasis in Graphic Design from Grand Valley. I enjoy meticulously brewed coffee, listening to the Bluey soundtrack on repeat, and watching the bi-annual Apple conferences in their exhausting entirety.

Tell Us About Your Family: My wife, Yewon, and I have been married since 2018 and have two children, Coralie and Cassian.

Role on the Board: Marketing Committee Chair (first year)

Why did you want to be on the Board? Throughout my education, I was never very involved with my school. Moving forward, I would like to be more involved in my children’s education, and the board offers a great opportunity to do that.

What do you hope to accomplish for Saint Thomas? I hope to share my professional experience and talents in graphic design, marketing, and advertising with Saint Thomas.
