Shep has been in veterinary medicine as long as they can remember as their dad is a veterinarian in Oklahoma and it feels as though they were delivered in the treatment area of his clinic. They currently own 4 cats (Ollie, Charles, Kewpie, Grandma Chlorine), 2 dogs (Newton, Halo), and 2 snakes (Kaa - ball python, Shoelace - Asian Vine Snake). Away from work, they love to visit local springs, enjoys spending time with all their pets, playing Pokeman at the local card shop and reading. Shep is also starting back to school in order to one day become a veterinarian as well.
