Shaun was born in Hill Valley, California in 1968 to a family of Irish descent. Little is known about Shaun's early life except for the fact that he accidentally set his parents' living room rug on fire when he was 8.

In 1985, Shaun played lead guitar with his group The Pinheads and liked listening to Huey Lewis and the News, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and Van Halen. He was also a talented skateboarder and proven to be an excellent shot with a gun, honed by endlessly playing shooting games such as Wild Gunman at his local 7-Eleven.

Although Shaun is often accident-prone and sometimes thought to lack critical thinking skills, he is nevertheless brave in the face of danger and can be very resourceful and clever. He has shown some good and basic street fighting skills. He often throws punches in hand-to-hand confrontations. His major character flaw is his pride, which causes him to take unnecessary risks to show others that he is not chicken, as demonstrated throughout various points throughout his life. However, when his ancestor Seamus Finney points out that Seamus's brother, Martin, was killed in an argument where someone questioned his bravery, Shaun began to re-think his stance on what other people thought of him. This was highlighted when Shaun refused to race Needles, despite Needles goading him into a race, thus avoiding the "automobile accident" involving the Rolls Royce, therefore changing his future for the better.

Shaun had been involved with volunteer playtesting and quality assurance for Telltale since 2006, and has been creating the marketing videos since 2010. While generating buzz and millions of clicks for Sam & Max, Back to the Future, Puzzle Agent, Jurassic Park, and the Walking Dead, he has also been known to over-immerse himself in the source material for Telltale’s games.
