Fun Facts
Dr. Sheperd was a patient of Dr. Scott’s in our Saginaw dental office and ultimately pursued dental school because of Dr. Scott’s influence.
He missed his college graduation to marry his wonderful wife, Darlene. The Sheperds have been blessed with two beautiful children and they hope to have more.
As the grandson of two veterans turned school teachers, Dr. Sheperd has long valued service and education. Growing up in Saginaw, Texas, he was a patient of Ballard Family Dentistry and was inspired to pursue a career in dentistry after seeing how Dr. Scott Ballard was able to dedicate himself so fully to serving both his family and his community.
He pursued service through his participation in the Boy Scouts of America, achieving his Eagle Scout rank. After graduating high school, he moved to Santa Maria Brazil to serve as a full time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. These two years of service were extremely formative for him. Upon returning to the United States, he studied at Brigham Young University, graduating with a BS in Neuroscience with a double-minor in Business and Family Life. He continued to practice my Portuguese through college and was granted a ACTFL Certificate with an Advanced Rating. (Preciso de mais oportunidades para praticar agora! Por favor, se você fala português, venha me conhecer)
Dr. Sheperd completed dental school at the University of Texas School of Dentistry in Houston. Pulling on his neuroscience background, he pursued research of arecoline, one of the most used psychoactive drugs. He also received additional training for Laser Dentistry, Sleep Medicine, and Dental Esthetics. Upon his graduation, he was awarded a recognition from the Academy of Laser Dentistry.
