Shayne’s passion for wine led him into the wine industry in 1998 after graduating from Saint Mary’s College.  He began his wine career at Franciscan Estates in Napa Valley as an Inventory Accountant and soon transitioned into the production side of the business as their Production Manager.  In February of 2011 he joined SummerWood Winery & Inn as General Manager after 13 years in winery management on the Central Coast.   Shayne lives in Templeton with his wife and their 3 children.

Shayne serves on the Partner Advisory Committee for MUST! Charities, Board of Directors for Templeton Youth Baseball, and various committees for the Paso Robles Rhone Rangers and Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance.  When he is not making, drinking or otherwise thinking about wine, Shayne enjoys the outdoors, whether it is coaching little league, fly-fishing, training for a marathon, or skiing with his family.
