SHAWN MURPHY
I am currently a member of Sylvania City Council. I was appointed to the position at the beginning of 2025 to fill the open seat vacated by Mark Frye when he took on the responsibilities of being our new Mayor. I have lived in Sylvania for twenty years with my wife Cari (we recently celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary) and our three wonderful children Caitlynn (22), Haleigh (17), and Connor (12).
All of our kids attend or graduated from Sylvania Schools.
I am the proud owner of Advance Advertising Ltd. here in Sylvania, a third generation family owned company that helps clients promote their brand with custom branded apparel and promotional products. In 2024 we celebrated our 75th year in business.
- I currently serve as a board member on the Sylvania Area Joint Recreation District.
- I have served as a board member for the Sylvania Chamber of Commerce
- I have served as a board member for the Sylvania Area Community Improvement Corporation.
- Have previously served as President of church council.
In the past I have proudly coached soccer for several years for the rec., and have worked with many kids in the community, from hosting interns from the high schools at our business, to serving as a judge at McCord's Amazing Shake. I also enjoy attending and promoting community events as a community stake holder.
