bio Official CBS.com Survivor: Panama - Exile Island bio page excerpts (1/9/06):
"Shane Powers was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska. After finishing high school, Powers moved to Los Angeles.
In 1999, Powers and two business partners established a boutique specialty marketing company with the goal of effectively branding products. On the side, Powers makes time to coach his son's football team. Previous employment included work as a club promoter and restaurant manager.
Powers describes himself as witty, outgoing and funny. His most important accomplishment, still in progress, is raising his son. His hobbies include basketball, softball, writing and frequenting bookstores.
Powers believes he can be the Sole Survivor because of his unmatched communication skills. He believes he is also a physical threat and has the ability to manipulate people and not have them be resentful. If he wins, he wants to buy some real equipment and a great field for his son's football team.
Powers currently resides in Los Angeles under the watchful eye of his son, Boston. His birth date is November 28, 1970."
