Bio

Steve Shala joined Shaner in August 2012 as the Chief Information Officer, with the responsibility of managing the information technology for all Shaner business operations. With more than 20 years of experience in this field, Steve is a solid and diverse addition to Shaner. Before joining our team, Steve served as the Director of Networks, Servers and Security for the Fairmont State University in West Virginia. At Fairmont State, he directed the team responsible for the university data center, networking and all technology systems infrastructure. Prior to his leadership role at Fairmont State, Steve graduated from Penn State University and worked in the College of Agricultural Sciences' IT Department, developing and supporting IT systems and a statewide network to all 67 Pennsylvania counties. Outside the office, Steve enjoys golfing, fishing, hunting, gardening and other outdoor activities, but most looks forward to the winter months when he works at the local ski area several days a week. Steve is a PSIA-certified Alpine Level 2 ski instructor, and found the teaching and communication skills he learned as an instructor also apply to many areas of work and family life.
