Shawn Callahan

Shawn Callahan runs the Sacramento office for Curt Pringle and Associates and brings a diverse background of experience in public relations, government affairs, issue advocacy and marketing to our team.

His possession of the skills needed to excel in a corporate business climate along with his understanding of the tactical nuances involved with politics gives him the ability to seamlessly and effectively maneuver within both realms.

Before joining CP & A, he worked as an account executive with Russo Marsh + Rogers, Inc. It was there that he developed his skill in advancing the interests of corporate clients and non-profit organizations, as well as political candidates and committees.

He has run the campaigns for numerous candidates for both local and statewide offices, has represented industry associations, and has coordinated all aspects of both national and international public relations campaigns, including extensive experience as a press secretary and spokesman for such campaigns.

Before moving to Sacramento to pursue politics, Mr. Callahan worked for a local San Diego retail clothing store chain, helping to grow it into a national publicly traded company. While there, he was involved with all aspects of real estate, planning, budgeting, and construction of new stores.

Shawn Callahan studied at University College of Dublin in Ireland and graduated from Santa Clara University with a B.S. in Political Science with an emphasis in Public Administration in 1999.

He has partnered with many non-profits for various philanthropic causes, most recently raising over $26,000 for ALS patient services and research through his running of the Boston Marathon.

He also serves on the ALS Associations public relations committee and is a long-time volunteer of Big Brothers Big Sisters.
