Fred Shepherd

Fred, SEA's fearless leader, tackles economic development like a caffeinated strategist playing 4D chess. With 16 years under his belt, he's a master of crafting plans, wooing businesses, and negotiating deals that would make a seasoned diplomat blush. He's also a pro at herding cats, or, you know, fostering regional growth. He's passionate about community growth, and yes, he does sleep... occasionally.
