Shawn Porter

Age:  39

Starting Weight:  303.6 lbs

Current Weight:  284.2 lbs

Husband/Father/Pastor

About Shawn:  Shawn is the Pastor of Calvary Church, and is currently trying to get healthy so he can continue to be there for his family--and not cut his earthly years of ministry short.

Sentinel Moment:  When a good friend died suddenly of a massive heart attack at age 39.  I preached at his funeral.  I looked at his 6 year-old son and 4 year-old daughter in the front row.  Pete would never have wanted to leave them fatherless at such a young age.  But he did.  He got very heavy and it killed him.  I know that if I don't do something about my weight, then I will do the same thing to my family.  I won't let that happen.

You'll most likely see Shawn:  at Starbucks on Atlantic & Hodges, The Town Center, or at the beach.

Weekend Activities:  Preaching at his church, watching football, and now, of course, exercising!

Favorite Sports Teams:  The Ohio State Buckeyes, the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Cincinnati Reds.

If I'm Watching a Movie or Listening to Music, it's probably:  "It's a Wonderful Life" (movie), Sports Final Radio, or Talk Radio.

I am passionate about:  My Savior.
