MEET THE MEMBERS
Founder
Shaun McLaughlin
A husband, father of three, teacher, and camp director, Shaun was baptized as an adult on New Year’s Eve 2023—a moment that marked a profound turning point in his life. His journey toward Christ began in 2021, driven by a deep desire to find a church home for his growing family. But just days after the birth of their third child, his world was shaken when his wife, Megan, was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer.
​
In the midst of heartbreak and uncertainty, Shaun found something unexpected: faith. Clinging to hope and the promises of God, he surrendered his life to Christ and never looked back. Since then, he has experienced a peace that defies understanding and a renewed sense of purpose.
​
Now, Shaun feels called to share his story—not just as a testimony of what God has done in his life, but as a source of encouragement for other men facing their own storms. Through faith, family, and an unwavering hope, he continues to walk this journey, one step at a time.

Senior Advisor
Dr. Gene White
Gene is a husband of more than 50 years, a retired educator with five decades of service, and a man who has lived 43 years in recovery from alcohol. These experiences shape how he listens, how he shows up for others, and how he understands struggle, resilience, and hope.
​
His life has included profound challenges, including addiction within his family and the loss of his oldest son. He does not share these experiences lightly, but because they inform his deep commitment to walking alongside men with empathy, patience, and respect.
Professionally, Gene spent 25 years as a physical education teacher working with youth impacted by trauma, behavioral challenges, and serious emotional disturbance. He then served 25 years as a college professor, preparing future physical education teachers. Throughout his career, his work emphasized the connection between physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
​
He is also a certified Youth Mental Health First Aid Trainer, equipping adults with practical tools to recognize and respond to mental health challenges in young people.
​
“Doc’s” role within The Archangel Project is not to fix, diagnose, or judge—but to offer confidential, one-on-one support for men navigating addiction, loss, aging, life transitions, and questions of purpose. He believes strength grows when men are given space to speak honestly and are met with experience, respect, and steady guidance.
