Shane was born and raised in Childress, Texas. He grew up attending First Baptist Church Childress, where he came to faith in Christ at the age of 10. Raised in a Christian home by his parents, Donna and David, he was also deeply influenced by the Christ-centered ministry of his youth pastor, Tim Medley.
After graduating high school, Shane moved to Wichita Falls to study nursing at Midwestern State University. During his time there, he was involved in the Baptist Student Ministry and the college ministry at Faith Baptist Church. While at Midwestern, Shane met his wife, Ashley, and they were married in 2015.
Shane and Ashley have been members of Fairway Baptist since 2015. Over the years, he has served in a variety of ministries including children’s ministry, youth ministry, men’s ministry, and evangelism, as well as serving as a Deacon and Elder. His hope and prayer for Fairway is that the church would be faithful in all that Jesus has commanded and that we would reflect God in all we do—whether in work or rest, song or prayer, word or deed.
Shane enjoys movies of nearly any kind, playing games with friends, traveling anywhere with his wife, and spending time with friends and family.
