Shannon Canfield
Marketing/Promotions ManagerBorn and raised in Missouri Shannon enjoys the diverse landscape and the many outdoor activities available in the Midwest. In 1997 Shannon graduated from the University of Missouri with a degree in Parks Recreation and Tourism. Shortly thereafter she moved to Colorado and had the opportunity to explore a tiny portion of what the West has to offer. After living in various places in Colorado Shannon and her family moved back to Missouri to rejoin the wonderful community of Columbia. These days Shannon keeps busy raising two children and looking for any opportunity to go out in the woods to play. Shannon has returned to school for '07, yet still helps with special projects.
