WHO WE ARE
OUR STAFF
Shane was born and raised in Bakersfield, CA. He is the middle child of three children, and has one brother and one sister. Raised by an intensely generous and socially-minded mother, he has always focused on a life path that would allow him to give back to his community in a meaningful way.
Shane attended Frontier High School in Bakersfield, CA., and later moved to San Luis Obispo to attend college (both Cuesta Cal Poly). He is now finishing his Bachelor’s Degree at Laurus College for Business management/Medical Management and Human Resources.
Shane moved to Santa Barbara in 2013 to fulfill his life-long dream of living in a coastal community with multiple opportunities for outside recreation and professional growth. In his last job, Shane was the General Manager of a cellular store in Goleta, overseeing a staff of direct sales consultants and interacting with customers. Coming into contact with the world of senior care through his Friend at Heritage House Assisted Living, Shane came to appreciate how rewarding it was to work with senior residents. Through tenacious effort, Shane began the pursuit of finding a similar opportunity for himself. Shane is now a proud member of the Oak Cottage Team and will serve as the Services Director. His position is unique in that he will not only assist in administration and marketing, but will also be one of the first smiles families and residents will meet upon entry. Building upon his previous experience in customer service and reaching out to the general community, he will be a great resource for families and residents needing help with questions, requests and access to community resources.
In his spare time Shane enjoys running, working out, traveling, cooking, and hanging out with his family and loved ones. He continues to further his education in Multiple Fields Such as Human Biology, Medical Billing and Coding and Psychology and one day hopes to be Executive Director specializing in senior residential care.
