Treasure Valley man tries to slay the robocall monster

Shawn Davis spends most of his life solving problems with technology. He works an early shift in the IT department at Supervalu, then goes home to his Meridian apartment to work on his Web-design business, Royal Blue Graphics. Lately, though, he’s been dreaming up a way to stop scammers: a system that would thwart robocalls.

Davis, 27, is competing against hundreds of other inventors in a Federal Trade Commission contest aimed at blocking illegal robocalls on both cellphones and land lines.
