About Myself
My name is Hesham Shabaan, but people know me by Sham. I was born in Cairo, Egypt in 1963
and I have 3 brothers and 1 sister. I am married to my wife, Agatha and we don’t have any
children, but we have two dogs and two cats. We have lived in Lakeville for over 20 years.
I attended engineering college for 3 years and worked in the Egyptian government for 5 years. I
came to the United States in 1990. I lived in New York for 8 years, where I met my wife. We
moved to Lakeville in 2000 to help my friend Salah, owner of the Buckboard Restaurant and I
am still working with him as a chef to this day.
I am a cancer survivor. I lost one kidney in September 2016 from cancer. I went through chemo
for six months and I am currently cancer free.

Why Am I Running
________
People ask me why I want to run for Lakeville City Council? I say it is all about courage and to
make Lakeville a stronger and better community.
When coronavirus hit our country, Governor Walz shut down all businesses for at least 2
months and we got the order to change the restaurant to take-out only. With one kidney and a
new virus, I took the risk to manage the Buckboard to take-out only all by myself. I took orders
through the phone and also cooked everything myself. All of my customers say, “You are my
hero.”
