Yes, I hiked around there in both directions this past February and used William (Rainbow Alpaca). His number is 484-560-7813.
He is younger with a full time job so you will have to work around his schedule on a weekday. I used his services twice, both on weekdays. I met him early (7:30 am) at the ending trailhead and had him take me to the starting trailhead. He headed to work after he dropped me off. I imagine if I asked for a later shuttle then he would not have been able to take me. He will tell you the rate upfront. He was prompt and his rates were very reasonable and I highly recommend.

I used Carlin's AT Shuttle Service (on the WhiteBlaze list posted above) a couple times around Port Clinton. Joyce Carlin runs it, but a family operation.
Friendly great service and reasonable rates.

I've had amazing success using that shuttle list. Lots of great folks, mainly fellow hikers.
Shuttle drivers have also offered to act as local contacts if I got jammed up in some way, or needed help. You never know, right? Injuries or other unexpected stuff happens in the backcountry--nice to have a local resource/contact who knows you're out there and will pick up the phone.
