Shayne was raised in Saskatchewan, where the open prairies and strong sense of community shaped his outlook on life. While he didn’t grow up on a farm himself, he spent much of his childhood visiting his grandparents’ farm — a place full of cattle, barn cats, and dogs that sparked an early and lasting love of animals.
Even as a kid, Shayne was drawn to animals of all kinds — always the first to jump in to help feed, fix, or follow one around. That early bond never faded, and today, it plays a big role in his life on the farm.
In his twenties, Shayne moved to British Columbia to chase adventure and live the snowboard lifestyle, trading prairie winds for mountain air and powder days. But over time, the pull of his rural roots and the dream of one day having animals of his own became impossible to ignore.
At home, he’s the farm’s go-to builder, fixer, and quiet caretaker — happiest when he’s outside with the animals or working on a new project. His early love for animals has come full circle, and today, they’re not just part of the farm, they’re part of the family.
