Corey shepherd
Corey Shepherd is a Kentucky-based philosopher, scientist, educator, and entrepreneur whose remarkably diverse life experiences have shaped his unique perspective on the nature of existence and interconnectedness. A former U.S. Navy veteran who served ten years in tactical operations and as a military instructor, Shepherd discovered the transformative power of adaptability and lifelong learning after initially struggling in traditional academic settings.
Following his military service, Shepherd earned his bachelor’s degree in business management and spent eight years in corporate leadership before transitioning to entrepreneurship. He currently serves as CEO of Insight Emergency Solutions, a digital mapping company that provides critical spatial and structural intelligence to first responders, demonstrating his commitment to leveraging technology for public service and safety.
In addition to his business leadership, Shepherd teaches multimedia and business concepts to high school students, combining his practical experience with his passion for education and mentorship. His creative pursuits span multiple mediums: he is an accomplished singer-songwriter with a musical album set for release in Spring 2026 that takes listeners on an emotional journey from sadness and loss to inspiration and self-confidence, blending reggae with hints of blues, pop, and folk. He also provides professional narration services for Amazon/Kindle, creating audiobooks and voiceovers for video trailers.
As an author, Shepherd has written two books that explore the interconnected nature of existence. His philosophical insights emerged from navigating significant personal challenges, leading him to recognize the profound and unexpected ways that seemingly disparate aspects of reality connect to form a unified whole. His approach to understanding reality is deeply interrelational, drawing connections between his military training, business leadership experience, creative pursuits, and spiritual inquiry.
The Fundamental Ultimate Question: What Is? represents the culmination of Shepherd’s journey from academic struggles to profound understanding, offering readers the same framework for peace and clarity that transformed his own life through periods of difficulty and growth. This multifaceted background allows him to bridge practical wisdom with philosophical depth, making complex concepts accessible to diverse audiences while demonstrating that wisdom emerges not just from study, but from fully engaging with life’s challenges and opportunities.
Be sure to keep an eye out for his second book, which will be published in the spring of 2026. The Chronos Menagerie: A Tale of Time follows the hero through an accidental fall into the Interim, the space between time streams. Along his journey, he encounters time-based entities like the Time Jester and the Keeper of Timelines. These magical creatures live outside of linear time and join to help him find his true calling and a way back home.
