When not on the job site, Tony enjoys spending time with his wife, exploring the backroads on his motorcycle, volunteering with the Elk’s, and visiting their two kids at college.

Shana Eubanks

On a wing and a prayer, and after some challenging life events, Shana and her husband chose to leave the D.C. area and relocate to St. Charles County 15 years ago, not knowing a soul, and they’ve been blessed ever since.

With more than 30 years experience working in child abuse, homelessness and affordable housing, Shana has developed a passion for building strong communities. She always says her children sit next to kids in school who are not as fortunate as they, and she wanted to be part of a solution that would positively affect those children; their families for generations to come!  A common thread among vulnerable families is the lack of affordable housing.  That is what brought her to Habitat!

In Shana’s free time, it’s all about her family and making lasting relationships towards a strong foundation for their kids, beyond just the classroom.  She wants them to understand community at all levels. Competition Dance Team and Select Soccer keep them very busy. A Pennsylvania girl at heart, she will always love her Birds- the Philadelphia Eagles, but she proudly supports the Kansas City Chiefs as well.
