During his ten- year coaching career at Fairfield Central, the Griffins won two state championships (1996, 1997) and five region championships. Shaw's football responsibilities at Fairfield Central included offensive and defensive coordinator and assistant head coach. He served as the head strength and conditioning coach, and head track coach as well.

Shaw will teach science at Blythewood. He was nominated for the Disney National Teacher of the Year award in 2006 and was honored as the 2003 Fairfield County District Teacher of the Year.
