For 8 years, Jill Shepherd served in the US Military as a Combat Medic in the Utah National Guard, while earning her degree in Nursing at Southern Utah University. In January 2004, Jill was deployed to Afghanistan, returning home in April 2005. She has earned 5 medals for her outstanding service, and was the first female finisher of the inaugural Afghanistan Marathon, making a total of 18 marathons she has completed together with earning the highest Fitness award during Army Basic Training. In addition to her US Military service, Jill received her Bachelor's of Science in Nursing at Southern Utah University. In 2006, she placed 3rd in the Cinco De Mayo Sailboat Regatta in Mexico, and in 2007, Jill was chosen one of four women for the "Women of Strength" featured in Muscle and Fitness Hers Magazine.

Jill has since loved being a Nurse for 10 years in the Emergency Department at Primary Children's Hospital, bringing smiles to children's faces. Jill is happily married to Kerry Shepherd and they are enjoying beginning their own little family. They have 4 young kids who they easily get distracted by and have lots of fun with. Between being a proud Mom and housewife, she continues to inspire many as a Professional Speaker and Author .
