He was a police officer with Broken Bow Police Department and then worked in the prison systems in Beeville, Tx and later at Telford in New Boston Tx.

Shane loved aggravating his nephew Brian with the help of Ricky and an Indian Bust named Ingen Joe. He loved scaring him and it was a joke between him and the boys for many years.

He loved lifting weights, sporty cars, his dog named Suki, and of course his parrots Frosty, Jamie, and Janie.

He attended The Church of Southeast Oklahoma in Garvin, Ok.  In his teens he traveled on mission trips with his dad to Pueto Rico and oversaw the tape ministry there. He would take orders to produce cassette tapes and make sure they were available to the people.
