ABOUT COACH SHEPP
With 20 years of law enforcement and courtroom experience, Stephen Sheppleman honorably served as a law enforcement officer in the City of Chester, PA, a high-crime area, where he worked tirelessly to protect underserved communities facing socioeconomic challenges. This experience sharpened his expertise in school safety, public budgets, and union negotiations, while strengthening his commitment to safety and opportunity for all.
