"Mark Webber has flashed me his Ferrari. I've seen Michael Clarke in his undies and compared rides with Eric Bana."

From cover stories to business features and travel jaunts, Shane has spent the last decade building a portfolio worthy of such flagrant name-dropping.

His career began at Woman's Day where he learned how to serve hot coffee to demanding journos. He went on to cut his teeth as a staff writer at ACP Youth Titles, where he was swiftly promoted to features editor.

He moved on to become a section editor at Virgin Blue Voyeur where he was responsible for the City Guides travel section and was soon promoted to features writer where he happily traversed the globe on a glamorous cavalcade of travel writing assignments.

Then came a promotion to features editor during which time he interviewed the bold and the beautiful, while writing a range of features that covered everything from trends in crowdfunding to the rebirth of the electric car.

He eventually handed in his wings for a crack at the business world where he took up the reigns as launch editor of SP magazine and designed and implemented the editorial process from scratch.

Now, he is at your service as a freelance writer and editor, specialising in business, travel and entertainment feature writing.
