Survivor
Redemption Island
Sheppard was initially a contestant on Survivor: Redemption Island in 2011. He was a member of the Ometepe Tribe and had a then-record 17 votes cast against him throughout the season. He was unable to pull away with the victory however, receiving only a single vote at the final tribal council He told TV Guide that he played with hope and suspected that he would get the jury vote from almost everybody. His plan came through when Kaplan was voted out at the merged tribe's first Tribal Council. He then adopted season "Fan" Sherri Biethman into Stealth R Us. Eventually, he was so confident in his strategy, he chose not to compete in one immunity challenge, claiming it to be because of a childhood incident. In the Tribal Council immediately following, he was voted out when Malcolm Freberg, Eddie Fox, and Reynold Toepfer made Survivor history by combining two hidden immunity idols with a challenge win to make all members of their alliance (dubbed "The Three Amigos") immune and have all of the votes cast against them negated. At the end of the game, Sheppard voted for John Cochran to be the Sole Survivor, a unanimous decision by the jury.
After being voted out of Survivor: Caramoan, he appeared on Survivor Live.

Sheppard is the inspiration for, and persona in, the 2013 novel The Specialist: The Costa Rica Job, written in collaboration with his brother, Charles P. Sheppard, Author.
