Shaun is the Chair of The Tolkien Society.
First elected in 2013, Shaun has overseen the Society's expansion from 600 to 3,800 members, and its growth in assets to nearly £500,000. Shaun regularly speaks about adaptations of Tolkien's works and the future of Tolkien scholarship whilst passionately believing the Society needs to reach out to new audiences. In his spare time he can be found playing video games and Lego, or on
X (formerly known as Twitter). He chaired another charity,
Mankind, and is a local councillor.
