Britton attended the University of Virginia and graduated with a degree in rhetoric and communication studies. He grew up with a family that is well known to fish for various seafoods, being involved in crabbing, fishing, and oystering. Going through college, he worked part time as a general hand and horse groomer at the Keswick Hunt Club. After his studies, he became involved in sport fishing, and would soon discover his passion for fishing. He moved to the Outer Banks and would create his own commercial fishing and charter business, which would increase his net worth significantly. He would go on to have his boat called Doghouse and fish off the Outer Banks regularly. This would then lead him to be approached by the producers of “Wicked Tuna” as they were searching for a new show based on the success of their original shows, including “Ice-Road Truckers”.

“Wicked Tuna” is a reality television series following commercial fishermen as they search for the lucrative bluefin tuna. The show is set up in such a way as to see which fishermen catch the most fish by the end of each season. The series also showcases regulations made for tuna fishing, as the bluefin’s numbers have lowered considerably due to aggressive fishing. “Wicked Tuna” also sheds some light on the history of tuna fishing which is one of the US’s oldest industries. Shackelford would also become a part of the spin-off entitled “Wicked Tuna: North vs South” which was set as a spinoff project from the original show after its second season. He is a new member of the franchise joined by other cast members from the original show, which is set off the coast of the Outer Banks, and so was eventually renamed to “Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks”. The Outer Banks season usually begins after the end of the fishing season in the North Atlantic, which is the reason other cast members continue their business in this area after fishing in the North Atlantic. The show has helped Shackelford increase his net worth significantly.

For his personal life, it is known that Britton is married to Audra Meads; they have three children, and reside in Outer Banks, North Carolina. He also serves as the president of the North Carolina Watermen United which aims to regulate both commercial and professional sport fishing in the state.
