START WITH OUR STORY
The story starts in a little town called West Bend, IA where Shon was born and raised on a farm by his parents Don and Verda Bruellman. His mother was an excellent cook who spent much time in the kitchen preparing food for family and those in the community who would be encouraged by a visit and a meal.
