Wayne Shearer was raised in a rural area of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. After high school he entered the Air Force and became fascinated with computers and technology. He spent much of his life in the computer field as a field engineer and system designer, traveling around the country and across the world.
While still holding a love for computers, the business of technology became boring and routine and Wayne left the computer field to become a teacher, teaching high school mathematics and computer technology. One summer, with no summer school to teach, he saw an article in the local newspaper about an independent film being shot in Lancaster County that needed extras. He contacted them on a lark.
That film started his third career and, this time, he found his passion. It was the first of several films and TV shows that Wayne worked on, first as an extra, then, as he gained experience, as a principal. Between films he writes songs, mostly country and rock, and is a member of the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI). He still travels to Nashville several times a year to write and "recharge his batteries".
Wayne pursues his career in acting, and songwriting, from his home in Philadelphia, PA.
