Shelton found his way to wrestling and grappling at a very young age, and became obsessed with the sport by seven years old when his mother finally decided to allow him to train in something so inherently rough and physical. Shelton grew up wrestling with his cousin and best friend, Casey Davies, who kept him sharp as he earned regional titles as a sophomore in high school.

In high school he was a standout wrestler for the Meadville bulldogs wrestling squad, with an outstanding record of 141-21. He placed first in the PIAA District 10 championship in his state in both 2008 and 2009 as a junior and a senior in high school, respectively.

He signed on as a coach with the University of Virginia Cavaliers and kept the job for about three years before moving on in 2015.

It was then, in 2015, that the opportunity to coach at the University of Maryland came up. He jumped at the chance, and was able to help some of their athletes achieve greatness at the big ten tournament that year. After a period of time with the Maryland Terps, Shelton became interested in coaching at Columbia University in New York, where he still resides.
