As a young kid, Shane was pretty disciplined and stayed out of trouble most of the time. While Shane and his brother were not the best of friends, the pair shared many similarities. As a young kid, Shane had a fair share of incidents that happened to him. He was once chased by a neighboring dog which cemented a fear of dogs. At another time, Shane got a nosebleed so bad that the church staff had run out of tissues.  Shane attended Schaumburg High School before going on to study at Columbia College Chicago. He studied editing during his college years.

Professional Career

As it happened, Shane was asked to create a video to make off of a list of pre-researched videos. Shane went on to create his first video, “Unusual Facts About Diet Coke” (2014). The video gathered a large number of views and Shane joined BuzzFeed.
