Résumé
Shea Gunther
Designer, publisher, podcaster, writer, entrepreneur, carpenter — and, right now, building Loop MMT. The career doesn't have a specialty running through it; it has a habit: walk into an unfamiliar domain and build a real structure in it; a cross-domain specialist. The thread is coordination — holding the whole picture while managing the parts.
