Meet Shawn Peacock | Leather crafter

We had the good fortune of connecting with Shawn Peacock and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Shawn, what inspires you?
I come from a long line of entrepreneurs. My father stated his own transmission business in his early twenties, with mothers help. Peacock’s Transmission remains a successful business today.

I started my own nail salon in 1993. I have always been self employed. Hard work comes easy for me. Leather crafting fell in my lap and I was good at it. It’s been hard to complete with the big guys but I’m giving it all I have!

My parents would tell us kiddos we could accomplish anything with hard work. I owe my success to God and my parents.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My friends call me free spirited. I believe I can do anything I put my mind to. I’m definitely a true artist. I have been blessed to make a living at what I love. I started in 1987 in the beauty business, music is my medicine and sewing and creating leather is my passion. Being in business for yourself is not always easy. I’ve been blessed to raise two wonderful daughters doing what I enjoy. I have never one time said, “I wish I would’ve pick another career

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Give me the good old Brazos River on a boat, with a drink, family and some great tunes. I’m pretty simple I love to take in all that nature has to offer.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Like I said in the last question. It was my parents that put the mind set that I could accomplish anything I was passionate about.
