Additional Information
Shay grew up in Anchorage, Alaska, where he developed passions for playing hockey and golf. After moving to Nebraska upon completion of his undergraduate degree, he developed his third passion: Nebraska football. While he misses the mountains of Alaska at times, he prefers Nebraska’s longer golfing season and obsession with college sports. Shay’s wife, Moe, is a born and raised Nebraskan who deserves credit for supporting his three passions while they are raising three young children.
