About Shane
Biography
I grew up in the Finger Lakes area of Western New York about 30 miles from Rochester. After graduating from high school I attended college and played baseball. Following graduation from college I played two years of professional baseball before starting law school in Miami.
During law school and since, I have lived in Palm Beach County. When not working or tending to family matters, I still enjoy playing baseball. In 2014 my tournament team won the over 35 Roy Hobbs World Series. I also practice Tae Kwon Do and have achieved the rank of 1st degree black belt.
