MEET THE TEAM
Blake Shell

Blake leads our content strategy initiatives and has an active role in business development. He
acquired his professional experience in marketing and client consultations from his role as a Special Projects and Promotions Manager. He studied Finance and Accounting at Marshall University.
Blake is an avid sports fan. He can often be seen cheering in the stands at Cincinnati Reds baseball games and Columbus Blue Jackets hockey matches, no matter their record. He is an active supporter of small businesses. His favorite is Lekko Coffee located in Cleveland’s Ohio City district. Blake currently resides in Cleveland, OH with his fiancée. They are in the process of adopting a rescue puppy
Sam Miller
CO-FOUNDER
Sam is the head developer of our financial strategies department in addition to his role as the Creative Content Specialist. His experience stems from spending time in the financial industry as
a Business Negotiations Consultant and Account Manager. Sam spent four years at West Virginia University and graduated as a finance major.
Our CFO enjoys clear water beaches, writing, and video games. Sam golfs often, but his skills are sometimes questionable. He is also a supporter of small businesses and frequents food trucks in his neighborhood. Sam can be spotted at concerts and local breweries in Charlotte, NC, where he lives with his girlfriend and their cat, Bo.

Abi Woods
CO-FOUNDER
Abi is our primary relationship manager and quality control administrator. She wears many hats at ShellWoods because of her diversified professional background. Her skill set derives from
working in legal departments of various disciplines, in addition to her previous role as Public Relations Specialist. She graduated from Marshall University as a communications major.
This co-founder has had a penchant for American soccer since she was old enough to compete. She went on to be selected to the All-State Team during her playing days in high school, twice.
Unsurprisingly, Abi is a fierce competitor in all aspects of her life, and it is highly suggested not to stand in her way. In her free time, she volunteers at no-kill animal shelters in her community and spends time with friends and family. Abi and her fiancée live together in Cleveland, OH.
