His hobbies include fishing, surfing, boating, art and design, as well as countless other outdoor activities. Shannon attended FSU (Florida State University) from 1991-1994 to major in both Studio Art and Art Education. He spent 5 years teaching before returing to FSU in 2000 to work toward his Master of the Arts degree in Educational Administration. After 3 more years as a teacher and administrator, Shannon later took a break from his role in education to eventually enter into business as a full-time artist and designer. Shannon's work can be seen all over the state and he has shown his work in more than 100 galleries, shops, shows and events. Shannon spent more than 23 years involved in the Scouting program and has earned Scouting's highest rank of Eagle and the Vigil Honor award through the Gulf Stream Council, BSA.

While attending college, Shannon was involved in the Unicef World Peace Mural Project under the direction of Dr. Tom Anderson, his mentor and friend. Shannon authored a grant-funded book in 2001 titled: The History of the Saint Marks Community which is now held in the State Archives in Tallahassee. Shannon later Co-Authored the Conservation Plan for the Long-Term Management of Natural Resources at Tanah Keeta Scout Reservation in Jupiter, FL. Shannon continues to work hard at furthering his artistic accomplishments each year. He is one of four boys and artistic talents have always been present in the family. Robert C. Wiley (Chris) his older brother, is an accomplished artist with experience in eduction and in fine art, sculpture, and blown glass. Recently the two brothers began working together on a project through General Theming Contractors where Chris designs, directs, and coordinates projects. Just outside Waterbury, CT, the Coco Key Waterpark is complete and features murals and aesthetic elements designed and installed by Shannon, Chris, and several other artists working with GTC.  Shannon also hopes to eventually create his large-scale murals in other states and countries. He also looks forward to some day returning to teaching in an adjunct position to share with others what he has learned in the field of graphic design and small business. Shannon purchased Artistic Signs & Graphics, Inc. in 2005 and currently offers his services throughout Florida. Shannon recently married his wife Bridgett in October of 2007. Bridgett and Shannon live in Stuart, Florida. This year, Shannon plans on participating in several shows throughout the Treasure Coast, and has numerous large-scale murals planned at both commercial and residential sites.
