Mr. Shannon uses a variety of economic modeling and statistical techniques to provide practical analyses that account for the unique economic and environmental ecosystems of a region. He has extensive experience in the tourism, travel, and recreation sectors, where he has identified opportunities to engage regional workforces and natural resources to create sustainable economies that retain local and state resident spending and capture out-of-state expenditures. Mr. Shannon is skilled in developing economic and demographic data structures to provide regions and states with benchmark analyses to compare regional strengths and weaknesses. He also helps clients measure their contributions to regional and state economies and has worked extensively with many economic impact models, including REMI and IMPLAN.
