Shannon started working at TimberHomes in 2012, and joined the partnership in 2016, making her the fourth member/owner on the crew.
Shannon was raised in southern Rhode Island in a town teeming with trades and craftspeople, and became interested in what they were up to in her youth. At McGill university in Montreal, she learned during an Irish Gaelic course that ‘McIntyre’ means son-of-the-carpenter, and thus she was destined for the chisel. She spent the year following graduation in small towns in Canada learning basic building skills, and preparing for an apprenticeship at the Heartwood School in Massachusetts. There, her love of timber framing was solidified. Shannon has taught timber framing classes at Heartwood, Yestermorrow, and independently as interesting projects have come up. She currently spends her working hours on marketing and website maintenance for TimberHomes. She lives in Montpelier with her partner and their 3 young children.
