About Shea

Shea was born in Chemainus BC, and grew up mostly on the Island, with a brief stint in Merritt, BC. After graduating from high school, Shea moved to (initially) Banff, and then Canmore AB for a few years before returning home to BC. It was during this time where the soaping bug was caught, as during a period of unemployment, Shea helped the 'Rocky Mountain Soap Company' move production facilities, learning of the current soap maker's imminent departure Shea asked the owner if he could have the job, to which he was denied! Undeterred, he took to the internet to learn how to make soap, bought some basic soap-making equipment, and had been making soap mostly for himself for about 16 years before starting PoCo Soap Co.

From about 2003 to 2011 Shea was a practicing Collision Repair Technician(aka Autobody Mechanic) and has a Red Seal in the trade.

Discovering a love for the liquid arts, Shea left the collision repair world near the beginning of 2011, and started over at the bottom in the hospitality industry. Swallowing pride and doing many undesirable jobs, Shea slowly rose through the ranks and eventually joined the opening team of the Shameful Tiki Room in Vancouver, BC, circa 2013. Shea has managed the bar ever since and has won a couple of bar tending competitions, as well as seen the bar win "Best Cocktail Experience" four years in a row from the Golden Owl Awards.
