Shawn Gahagan, Publisher

Shortly after graduating from the University of Wisconsin – Madison, Shawn joined AQUA in December 1993 as an account executive. After several years as Advertising Director, Shawn was named Publisher of AQUA in the Spring of 2001. In addition to duties as publisher, Shawn continues to handle all sales for the eastern half of the country. Shawn grew up with a pool in his parent’s backyard which was the favorite hang-out for a number of neighborhood kids. Now he spends several nights a week soaking in his spa - with his favorite time of year to soak being winter, when the snow is falling in Wisconsin. Shawn resides in Madison, WI with his wife Sherry and their two children Cullen and Chloe. Other interests include playing basketball, camping, hiking, music, off-road biking, college sports and of course . . . soaking in his spa.

Stan Chambers, West Coast Sales

Few in the spa business have as much experience as Stan Chambers. The Los Angeles native majored in communications at Loyola University, and took his first spa-industry job selling ads for Spa & Sauna in 1977. With Hester Communications, he started the first trade show for the spa business (Hot Water Conference & Expo) in 1979. In 1981 he launched a consumer spa and pool show in Southern California, which ran until 1990. He also started a quarterly consumer publication called Hot Water Living. From '85 to '87 he partnered these ventures with HBJ and was also marketing director for Spa & Sauna (which became AQUA in 1989). From the late ‘80s through the late ‘90s, Chambers ran the consumer show at local convention centers; in 1992 he joined Athletic Business Publications (which had purchased AQUA) to work on the AQUA Show, and in 1994 he took on West Coast ad sales. In his spare time, Chambers plays golf.
