For the past 20 years Shane has been involved in the evangelistic and catechetical ministry of the Archdiocese of St. Louis.  He has served on the core teams of both a Catholic charismatic youth group and LifeTeen program as well as coordinating programs for the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults and ongoing faith formation.  He was a long-time member of the Archdiocese's Retreat, Evangelization, and Prayer (REAP) Team and has recently begun writing for Catholic Exchange.  He holds an M.A. in Speech-Language Pathology and is engaged in clinical practice with school-age children.  He vehemently maintains, however, that his "best gig" is being the father of two.
