SHANNON ALLIO

EDUCATION

High school, appraisal and real estate licensing.

EXPERIENCE

My adult life has primarily been centered around family. Entertaining and hosting is something I enjoy. Career wise, it’s always been real estate related. From appraising, to selling, staging and decorating, I have done it and still doing it now. It fills me with great joy, knowing I can bring my passions and talents to Auburn Grace, our new church home.

FAMILY

As of 2023: Husband Brian (32 years together) & 3 sons, Tyler (30), Anthony (26) and Nick (15).

WHAT DO YOU DO IN YOUR FREE TIME?

Outdoor water sports and leisure, plus art and travel.

FAVORITE HOME-COOKED MEAL

Any of my dad’s recipes.

FAVORITE DESSERT

I can’t decide, but here are the top picks: Cake = Angel food cake with fresh berries, Tiramisu or gooey brownies. Ice Cream = Rocky Road and/or Mint Chocolate Chip. All desserts are best with a nice cup of hot coffee.

FAVORITE CAFFINATED BEVERAGE

Plain old brewed coffee with unsweetened nut milk (boring, I know).

FAVORITE MOVIES

My Cousin Vinny, The Princes Bride, The Goonies, Hunt for the Wilder People, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Young Frankenstein, 50 First Dates, Elf, The Time Machine and South Pacific.

FAVORITE CHRISTIAN BOOKS OR AUTHORS

I don’t really have one. But, I am currently listening to Misreading Scripture with Western Eyes and I highly recommend it.

FAVORITE OR LIFE VERSE

OT = Exodus 20:1-17 & NT = Matthew 22:37 & 39

WHAT GETS YOU EXCITED ABOUT MINISTRY OR WHAT IS YOUR PASSION IN MINISTRY?

The idea that my loved ones will be with me in heaven (thanks to Jesus).
