Shawn Shrader

Written by 

So just who would come up with the idea of opening a neighborhood pub/men’s hair salon?That would be Shawn Shrader, who just more than one year ago opened the uniquely monikeredThe Kilted Buffalo in Birkdale Village. A native of West Virginia, the Buffalo is the mascot of hisbeloved Marshall University Thundering Herd. The kilt is a nod to the Lake Norman region’sScottish heritage, and because he enjoys occasionally wearing a pleated, plaid skirt. Shraderlived and worked in the area for six years before moving to South Florida. He returned just tostart the Kilted Buffalo, where he can be found behind the bar or mingling with his friends andcustomers just about every night. And he is this week’s Fellow Citizen.
