Outside his professional achievements, Shane enjoys breeding competition fancy pigeons and also, racing pigeons, aligning with his passion for genetics and animal husbandry. He takes pleasure in sharing his experiences and helping others succeed.

Central to Shane’s life are his faith, family, and commitment to community service. His Savior, Jesus Christ, is his foremost priority, followed by his devotion to his family—his high school sweetheart and wife, Jane, and their five children. Shane is dedicated to making a positive impact in his community and in every endeavor he undertakes.

If you’ve ever received an email response from his phone, the signature line simply states: “Sent by an Awesome Dude.” He believes in finding joy in every situation and never taking things too seriously.
