Bio: Shane was born in Colorado Springs and had his first ski experience at Mount Hood Meadows in Oregon. He realized that his life would forever revolve around skiing when he joined the Winter Park ski team and had the opportunity to spend more days on snow than off each winter. 

After a successful legal career in New York, Shane returned to his roots in 2016, moving to Silverton, Colorado, where he founded Selwyn Capital Management. Since then, he has acquired, developed, and operates several hospitality projects, including The Wyman Hotel, The Rochester Hotel, and The Durango Lodge. 

From 2020 to 2024, Shane served as the Mayor of Silverton, Colorado.

Best Skiing Memory? My first time skiing at Silverton Mountain, my guide was Venture Ambassador Rob Roof. Silverton Mountain has such significant lore that I was in complete awe of the entire experience. It was one of the most meaningful and pivotal days in my ski career. That night, I decided to shift my trajectory and move to Silverton. A few years later, I made Silverton my home.
