- Additional Crew
Shawn Dunham has had vast career already. Born in Refugio Texas and raised in Agua Dulce, Dunham is part of the reality show, Cowboys and Heroes, a project that helps the military and other brave men (and women), as well as let's Dunham stay close to both his cowboy and military roots. He and producer/host Glynn Praesel have been scouting locations for the show that is currently in development.
Shawn spent many years as a professional rodeo clown and bullfighter (1990 through 2014), as well as serving his country.
It was when a football injury sidelined Dunham that he changed careers and became a rodeo clown bullfighter, the fearless group whose motto is to "Protect and Entertain." His bullfighting name was 'Iceman' and Wrangler and Nike were his sponsors. He was introduced to the sport by a couple of friends who were already bullfighting. While on the rodeo circuit, he was also a student at Sam Houston State University studying Criminal Justice.
He served in the USMC in 1993-1994, and then later served two tours of duty in Iraq with the US Army (2007-2009, and again 2010-2011) where he was classified as a disabled veteran due to a knee injury and injuries from several IED accidents while serving overseas.
He expresses his emotions through his music, learning how to write lyrics and play guitar. Dunham has performed for several radio stations. To date, he has recorded two of his veteran songs for his album: Soldier Song and Voices. Music will be a big part of Cowboys and Heroes, around the campfire.
Dunham was in Texas Law Enforcement office from 2004-2007, where he was on a SWAT and narcotics team.
Recently, in addition to Cowboys and Heroes, Dunham has been hired as horse wrangler and has been involved in stunt work.
He was born July 5, 1972 to Joe and Dottie Dunham. He loves watching sports and westerns and he looks forward to a diverse career in entertainment.
