Meet Shane
Who I Am
A lifelong Wyoming resident since the age of two, I carry the legacy of my family’s ranching roots—seven generations—in Washakie and Johnson Counties into every interaction. This heritage shaped my work ethic and my profound commitment to local service.
Following the example set by my father, Tom Greet, who served the Johnson County Hospital for twenty-eight years, I have built a career dedicated to our public safety in Johnson County as a Deputy Sheriff, Police Officer, Deputy Coroner, Detention Officer, and certified EMT.
Beginning in animal control for the City of Buffalo, I progressed into patrol, eventually accumulating over fifteen years of specialized experience between the Buffalo Police Department and the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office.
Buffalo and Kaycee are the places I call home, and protecting this community is my life's mission.
Alongside my wife of nearly thirty years, we have raised two daughters and are now blessed with three grandchildren.
I am running for Sheriff to ensure Johnson County remains a safe, principled, and vibrant home for every generation.
