Born in Carbondale, Illinois, he was most noted in the modeling world for having been Playgirl magazine's 1992 "Man of the Year". Shafer related that he did Playgirl for "validation" as a model because he never believed himself to be attractive.

Shafer's next directorial project was Circuit, a fictional look at the world of gay male circuit parties.
