Shannon Culverhouse
Shannon Culverhouse, MBA, is President of Sales at SNT Southern Boiler Tubes, where she leads sales strategy, customer relationships, and operational support for a 24/7 boiler tube distribution company serving clients nationwide. Based in Heber Springs, Arkansas, she specializes in stock and cut-to-length boiler tube solutions, same- or next-day shipping, in-house delivery, and hard-to-source specifications including SA178A, SA192, SA210, SA213-T11, SA214-T22, stainless options, and XID rifled tubes. Known for her responsiveness and attention to project detail, Shannon is committed to keeping outages and industrial projects on schedule, even during peak seasons and severe weather conditions.
Shannon’s career in the boiler industry began in 2015 as an HR craft recruiter supporting repair companies in the field—many of whom were customers of her family’s tube business. Following the unexpected passing of her father, she and her husband stepped in to help stabilize operations and ultimately purchased the company in 2021 to support her family and continue its legacy. Transitioning from recruitment into ownership and sales required resilience, adaptability, and a willingness to embrace the volatility of the industrial supply cycle. Under her leadership, the company has strengthened its customer-first culture and expanded its reputation for reliability and speed.
While navigating business ownership, Shannon simultaneously pursued and completed her Master of Business Administration from LSU Shreveport. What began as a professional goal became a deeply personal milestone, reflecting her perseverance through seasons of grief, entrepreneurship, and growth. Today, she continues to develop her strengths in sales and strategic leadership, confidently stepping into roles once outside her comfort zone. Shannon is driven by faith, grit, and a strong sense of responsibility to her customers, her team, and the industrial communities she serves.

What do you attribute your success to?
100% God. If it weren't for God, we would not be here today. It's all 100% all on him. When we bought this business, I was still not 100% sure that's the path that I wanted to take, but that was the path that we took. And if it weren't for God, we would not be here today. My husband and I just had this conversation. It's all because of him.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Don't be afraid of the boys. This is not a man's world. You have a place. I've gone to a couple of seminars in this industry, a big, huge platform, ABMA, and they broke off and they started a new women's division, the WIBY, Women in the Boiler Industry. And the biggest platform, the biggest hurdle that we all say is, don't be afraid of the boys. Like, it's not a voice, this is not an all-boys club. You have a place. So, don't be afraid of the boys.
