Shane served in the 75th Ranger Regiment, Ranger Training Brigade and 173rd Airborne. He was catastrophically injured in 1994 after a low altitude malfunction that resulted in him burning in from over 120 feet. Despite his injuries, he spent another 11 years on active duty before being medically retired in 2005. He’s been undergoing a 22-year full body rebuild since, including amputations, joint replacements and surgeries for spinal cord injuries. He spent those years as an international tech entrepreneur and established an NFP, 75th Adaptive Sports & Wellness, to teach, coach, mentor, and advocate for disabled Rangers and Veterans. Shane also competes as a para-athlete in triathlon, marathon, biking, alpine skiing, snowboard and Olympic shooting.
