Feature Boomertarian

As promised, we are bringing you a special feature on those boomertarians who are living life to the fullest. Our first tribute goes to Shane Coleman, founder of Heroes of Life, a non profit organization whose purpose is to teach at risk youth and young adults ages 8 to 28 all the facets of the entertainment and broadcast arena... including audio/video, music and graphic arts. Founded in 1989, the program is based in Pacoima California. It also collaborates with a For Profit organization known as "Our World," whose creating economical shifts by employing top students from Heroes of Life and engaging them in work such as stage management, sound enforcement and camera work for concerts, festivals and video/film production. Shane is married to his soul mate, Paula Coleman, who is not only a staunch supporter of his work; but is key in helping him bring the vision into fruition. Together they have ten children, 14 grandchildren and one great grand child. Shane, in all his wisdom, loves giving others the spotlight but today, in this defining moment, we salute him.
