Shawn K. Heflik’s love for “wild things and wild places” around the world, started when he was a small boy collecting and rescuing everything from baby birds to salamanders and orphaned ground hogs.

He obtained a Bachelor of Science in biology and later a Master of Science as well. With his military service paying for college, Shawn volunteered to go to the jungles of Central American and was not disappointed with its grandeur. While there, he collected boas, scorpions, lizards and ultimately traveled around the world.
 
Falling in love with the city of Iquitos in the Amazon Basin of Peru, Shawn built a house two story thatched roof bungalow there where he “gets back to basics.”

Some interesting talking points uncovered about Levy" : he doesn't watch lawyer shows and his favorite TV show is "Justified" starring Timothy Olyphant.; his first job was as a jazz and blues pianist; the last book he read was "The Big Short" by Michael Lewis; and he completed two Marine Corps Marathons in his '40s.

What's been on his mind for a while ? "Building the Constitutional case against the president's health care law."

We'll hear more about this subject at the luncheon.
