As the founder of Asymmetrical Solutions Group, he now channels his extensive experience into providing elite consulting services for government agencies and public safety organizations, ensuring they are prepared for the complex challenges of the modern world.

Shannon's career has been defined by his service in some of the most demanding and critical roles within the U.S. Border Patrol. His journey from a Border Patrol Agent to a Portfolio Manager has provided him with a unique, ground-level understanding of the operational realities and strategic imperatives of national security. His leadership in various supervisory roles, including Special Operations Supervisor and Field Operations Supervisor, has honed his ability to lead teams in high-stakes environments and deliver results when it matters most.

As the Program Director for the Department of Defense (DOD) Reutilization Program at U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Shannon demonstrated a remarkable talent for identifying and implementing transformative solutions. He spearheaded the acquisition of advanced Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) from the DOD, a move that saved taxpayers an estimated $36 million and propelled the CBP's capabilities two years ahead of schedule. This initiative, which involved a strategic partnership with the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM), showcased his ability to forge inter-agency collaborations and deliver cutting-edge technology to the front lines.

Driven by a desire to bridge the gap between operational needs and available solutions, Shannon founded Asymmetrical Solutions Group. The firm is built on the principles of precision, reliability, and readiness, offering tailored support to clients facing critical challenges. With a TS/SCI clearance, Shannon is entrusted to operate in sensitive environments where confidentiality and trust are paramount. His mission-focused approach ensures that every engagement is geared towards closing capability gaps, strengthening resilience, and achieving operational success.

Shannon's professional philosophy is a reflection of his character: 

"I embrace difficult tasks that people say are impossible because nothing is impossible, they are usually just complex problem sets and require you to think and do the work." 

This mindset, combined with his commitment to continuous learning and introspective reflection, has been the driving force behind his success. His numerous accolades, including multiple DHS Secretary's Awards, are a testament to his contributions to national security and his unwavering commitment to excellence.
