After law school he moved into roles that combined governance and organizational oversight. He served as National President of Phi Sigma Phi National Fraternity, Inc. in 2010.

His career path shows an interest in organizational law and risk issues, reflected in his fraternity leadership and risk management responsibilities. He has worked in environments that demand clear procedural frameworks and an ability to manage competing stakeholder interests. Colleagues describe him as someone who attends to procedural detail and the practical needs of clients and organizations.
He maintains a private practice under the name Shawn H. Head - Lawyer at Law. He has offices that serve clients in the two states where he is licensed. He continues to engage with professional associations and the bar organizations that govern practice standards in those jurisdictions.
Today he practices law across Illinois and Michigan. His current practice focuses on legal matters arising in those states, where he represents clients and provides counsel on issues appropriate to his licensure and experience.
