Ernest Shepard

Ernest Shepard was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. Growing up in Chicago, Ernest always dreamed of being a screenwriter, spending much of his teenage years writing screenplays. He is an actor and comedian, who has hopes of writing, directing and producing films. In 2017, Ernest completed an improvisational comedy program. He still performs improvisational comedy on occasion. This created a sudden shift in focus for Ernest as he pursued broadcasting for a career prior to acting.

Upon graduation, Ernest honed his skills as a radio broadcaster and a sportswriter for various publications.
