Shaun Michael Thompson


My name is Shaun Thompson, and this is a little about me. To skip straight to my resume, click here. Aside from spending the first nine months of my life in Frankfurt am Mein, Hessen (at the time, West), Germany, I have spent my days here in Springfield. I have seen it grow from around 230,000 people to now the upwards of 350,000*. I plan to stay around here for a while to raise my family in this surprisingly peaceful midwestern town.

I never did too well in school. My parents and my wife both told me that it was because it was not intellectually stimulating enough for me. This sounds like a cop-out, but the dramatic polar differences between my high school transcripts and GED scores is remarkable.

In February of 2001, my wife, daughter, and I were driving to the local Target to get some pacifiers. My daughter, now 2, was 3 months old at the time. I usually drove the car, not for any chauvinistic reasons, but because my wife did not so much like to. In this particular instance, she had just picked me up from somewhere, putting me in the passenger seat. As we waited in front of a green permissive left turn bulb, we noticed that the SUV that was heading East (we were heading West) had its right turn signal on, presumably to turn into Target, where they would be met by a "yield" sign. As we judge the situation based on the fact that they are going to do what they signal, we decide to turn left, into Target.

The next thing I remember, I woke up in a hospital bed and muttered,shakingly, "...where's my daughter?" This question, I am told, aside from being asked before I asked where I was, I asked many times as I woke up from morphine-induced sleep. I was in the hospital for eight days at Cox Medical Center South and seven days in inpatient physical rehab at Cox Walnut Lawn.

I say this not as an invitation to a pity party, but an explanation for my chosen educational path. During this time, i had about ten CT scans and so many X-rays that I lost count. This is what got me interested in the radiography field.


So now, on to my Resume
