I am one of 12 brothers & sisters and am a twin. I am known as a two time player on Survivor on CBS and Creator of the Brand The Specialist. I was discovered while roller skating in Santa Monica, CA. Today I live with my son as a single parent and my dog Spike. I left home when I was 16 and joined the Army and am US Army Retired. I have worked in technology enterprise sales for the last 18 years all over the United States. I have served as a Former Federal Agent.

I am very proud to have conceived, conceptualized and collaborated with my younger brother Charles Peterson Sheppard (author) on the novel The Specialist, The Costa Rica Job as part of a series of books to established a brand and now a Best Seller Number 1 Fiction on Rakuten.com. It has always been my dream to entertain people, even as a young man in school. I am so very grateful to CBS, Mark Burnett Productions and Jeff Probst for the opportunity to appear twice on Survivor. I am so happy that they like having a Personality like myself on Survivor Redemption Island Season 22 and currently on Fans Vs. Favorites, given that 100,000 applicants apply each year. Survivor has now given me a platform to do other things in life I never thought possible, like this book, and to give back to charities like Stand Up To Cancer, Reality Rally and Give Kids The World, thanks to our great fans!
