He is originally from Georgia, but as veteran, he has lived all over from Enterprise, AL to San Jose, CA. With a love for veterans, he had an idea to progress electrical infrastructure throughout the Carolinas by offering veterans the tools to help fuel economic growth in the community. As a veteran, Shenar is very passionate about the idea of giving back to those who have served, not with a handout, but with a hand up. Shenar learned the utility trades to help provide for his college tuition, just before joining the military after 9/11. Today, nearly half of Dynetek’s employees are veterans. Shenar earned his bachelor’s degree from Kennesaw State University and earned his MBA from Emory University’s Goizueta Business School.
