SHANE CAMPBELL What can I say about Shane Campbell? Well, for one he's from Tennessee...a very friendly place! He's one of the most talented and amusing carvers we have ever seen, very witty and he calls it as he sees it! He is also one of the nicest men I know. Shane Campbell was born in 1954 in New Hampshire but his family moved to Tennessee where he grew up. Shortly after graduation, he married his high-school sweetheart, Nancy, and began managing a series of shoe stores. After twenty-one years, he decided to call it quits on the constant moving and moved his wife and three children back home to Tennessee. Shane's father had been a nationally-known carver who had died a few years before their move home. It was natural for Shane to share a love for collecting and selling antiques just as his father had. Shane fell into that business for a while and began to create carvings to pass the time between customers.
