Bio of Jeffrey Shepherd

Spouse: Marie. Children: Brooke Redd (22), Casey (20), McCall (16), Shelby (10). Brooke, our oldest has been married a little over a year. No children yet. She and her husband are finishing degrees at WSU. Brooke is going into graphic design, her husband Mark-dentistry. Casey is serving a mission in S. Korea. He is a district leader and has been out 15 months and loves it. Loves to fly-fish and has a gift at playing the piano. McCall just got her license. She is sophomore at Bonneville High. She loves soccer and plays on the school team. She also has a gift at the piano. And she loves boys!! Shelby is our sweetheart. She gets straight A's in school (as do all three of the other kids).

I am currently 2nd counselor in the bishopric (hope that doesn't shake anyone's testimony). I love to spend time at the family cabin in the Uintah Mountains and fly fish. But most of all I love to spend time with my family. After the mission, I finished a degree at WSU in Ogden. Then dental school for 4 years in Portland Oregon, and then finished up in Indianapolis for two years for my orthodontic training. I am now an Orthodontist. I have two offices, one in Ogden and the other in Eden (Utah). I am presently president of the Utah Association of Orthodontists

Comps: Frame, Urklens, Gifford, Webb, Connell, Lundell, Belliston, Stone, Clawson, Howard, Malone, Wing, Pinkston, Quinto. Areas Served: Heredia and Desemparados Costa Rica, San Pedro Sula Honduras, Santa Cruz/Guanacaste Costa Rica, Managua Nicaragua, David Panama. I'll never forget the baptismal service we had out in a small stream in the jungle of Guanacaste with monkeys watching from the trees above us. I will always remember my mission as the most challenging and rewarding time of my life. The foundation of my testimony of the gospel was laid during that time. I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to serve the people in CA.
