Previously he served as CEO of BusinessMall.com/Progressive Telecommunications (NASDAQ: BSML), a company he founded in 1996.

Shevlin began his entrepreneurial career in the cable and satellite television industry. As president and founder of Custom Connections/BSR Industries, he developed relationships with key industry players including Time Warner's Primestar division and Echostar, parent company to Dish Network. In less than two years, he propelled the company to become Echostar's second largest East Coast retailer/installer of Dish Network systems, and central Florida's third largest cable TV contractor. He later sold the company to an employee and the business continues to serve the marketplace.
