Shane was born on November 8, 1971, in Muncie. He was a 1990 graduate of Yorktown High School where he played 3 years of varsity baseball.

Shane had a profound impact on travel baseball in Indiana and across the country. He became the president of the Indiana Prospects in 2016 and held the position until his passing.
