Shane is a native Austinite and has been community organizing since high school when he first joined the Austin Beyond Coal Campaign. He graduated from Stanford University with a B.S. degree in Engineering Physics and co-led several student organizations during his undergrad. Since moving back to Austin at the end of 2016, he has dived back into community advocacy at the local- and state-level as a volunteer on the policy team of the criminal justice reform and black empowerment organization Austin Justice Coalition, as a board member of Indivisible Austin, and as a new member of the city's Resource Management Commission. Shane previously worked as a Programming Manager and Programming Coordinator at Earth Day Austin, as the first Executive Assistant at Solar Austin, and as a Program Assistant at the youth empowerment organization C5 Texas.
In case you haven't noticed, Shane is also an ardent fan of the Oxford comma.
