About Me
Welcome!
My name is Marshall Shepherd, also known as Bobby. I was born and raised in America, in the great state of TEXAS. I’ll keep this short.
1990’s – 2015
I retired honorably from the U.S. Air force after 20 years, at the rank of E-6. In short, my assignments generally involved {8 years repairing F-15 avionics} and {12 years training avionic technicians}. What an amazing adventure. I got to repair the amazing F-15 aircraft, train as a Master Instructor, build interactive training applications, and work with a team developing aircraft simulators.
The U.S. Air Force gave me several opportunities to travel, finish a bachelor’s degree, and more opportunities to learn and grow than I could have ever imagined. My U.S. Air Force career was undoubtedly an incredible way of life.
I was in Desert Shield approximately 1 year after I began life in the U.S. Air Force. Two weeks after I returned from Desert Storm (March 1991), I fell in love with a woman and got married almost a year later. We raised 5 beautiful children together. I continued serving the Air Force in contract training for 6 more years after I retired. My most recent work included computer/database administration, e-learning development, and project management.
2015 – present
After an intense 26 years of government service, I decided to take a short sabbatical. I never intended it to be longer than 60 days. Now, I am transitioning to a new career in my home town. Meanwhile, I still like to get outdoors for a walk or jog. I occasionally play the drums, piano, and/or my vocal chords when I get the chance. I also like to cook healthy meals, read a good book, or watch a movie now and then.
I read every one of the comments. However, I may not respond immediately.
Cheers,
Marshall
