Shane was born and raised in a small town in northeastern Colorado. His own early physical therapy experience with an acl reconstructive surgery led him to peruse his goal of helping others.

He attended the University of Oklahoma and graduated with honors from their physical therapy program in 2007. He has since worked in two different physical therapy clinics, specializing in orthopedic and sports injuries. Shane became Astym certified in 2009, and is currently the only physical therapist in the Denver-metro area certified to perform Astym treatments.
