Shreve founded Storage Express, which he sold in 2022 to Extra Space Storage for $590 million, also receiving a seat on the company's board of directors.[4][5][6]
Early life and education
[edit]Shreve is from the University Heights neighborhood in Indianapolis.[4] Shreve earned his Bachelor of Arts from Indiana University, Bloomington, a Master of Arts in international studies from the University of London, and his Master of Business Administration in agribusiness from the Krannert School of Management at Purdue University.[7][8]
Political career
[edit]In 2013, Shreve was appointed to the Indianapolis City Council after incumbent Jeff Cardwell resigned to serve in Governor Mike Pence's administration.[9] In 2018, Shreve was appointed to the city council again when incumbent Jeff Miller resigned after pleading guilty to four felonies.[10][11] In 2016, Shreve ran for the Indiana Senate in the 36th district.[12] He lost the primary to Jack Sandlin by 2.61%.[13][14] In 2018, Shreve was a candidate for Indiana University trustee.[15]
Shreve announced his candidacy for mayor of Indianapolis in the 2023 election.[16] However, he lost the election to incumbent Joe Hogsett.[17] During his run for Mayor, Shreve called for stricter gun control.[18] His stance led him to get an F rating from the NRA Political Victory Fund.[19][20]
Shreve announced his candidacy for Indiana's 6th congressional district in 2024.[21] He won the primary in May 2024, defeating a field of Republican candidates that included Mike Speedy, Jeff Raatz, Bill Frazier, and John Jacob.[22][23] Shreve was elected as a member of Congress for Indiana's 6th congressional district.[24][25]
Shreve considers himself a moderate Republican.[26]
