Sebastian Shepherd is the product of divorce, trailer parks, religious fanaticism, political awakenings, love, loss, rap music, theater, comic books, retail, and daunting, devastating failure.

The child of a pastor and a teacher/missionary, Sebastian called Ohio, Florida, and Maryland home before moving to San Diego in 2005. He lives in America’s finest city with his fiance Stella and their pets: an anxious dog, a cranky cat, and an ungrateful aquatic turtle.

He has a bachelor of arts in theater from Kent State University, an Eagle patch from the Boy Scouts of America, and a thirty year mortgage from a banker who actually checked his credit score and still inexplicably approved the loan.
