Dr. Shepperson is a 3rd generation Presbyterian preacher’s son. He attended boarding schools and colleges in the UK, Switzerland, and the USA. He earned a doctoral degree in clinical psychology along the way, worked as an Air Force psychologist, and was on faculty at a doctoral program of psychology in California. He and his wife owned a group psychotherapy practice in California. For the past decade or so he served as a missionary in southwest China, the UK, and New Zealand. Now he and his wife live and practice as licensed psychologists in Hawaii—but he mainly writes stuff. Currently Dr. Shepperson resides in Kailua-Kona, HI.
