Career
From 2005 to 2009 Shepherd went for four years for the NCAA team Wolverines of the University of Michigan on baskets hunting. He then played for the Halifax Rainmen in the US Premier Basketball League . From the start of the 2010/2011 season to March 2011 he played in the German second division Pro A for the GiroLive-Ballers Osnabrück . He then moved to the first basketball league with the Skyliners from Frankfurt until the end of the season in May . For the following season 2011/12 he received a contract with the reigning Dutch champions Zorg en Zekerheid from Leiden . Here he celebrated winning the national cup in 2012. Other club stations followed in Romania, Italy, Belgium and France. He has currently been playing for French second division club SLUC Nancy Basket since January 2018 .
With the Canadian national team he was a participant in the 2010 World Cup, which ended with a disappointment after five defeats in the preliminary round against the Lebanese national basketball team without a single win. The 2011 American Championship also ended disappointingly with sixth place, as only fifth place, which the Venezuelan national team achieved, would have qualified for participation in the pre-Olympic qualifying tournament for London 2012 . By 2013 he had completed a total of 20 international matches and was not nominated after that.
