OUR STORY
Along Came a Shepherd...
"When it is too hard to look back, and you’re too afraid to look ahead… look beside you, I’ll be there."
Inspired by the loyalty, courage, and determination of the incredible German Shepherd dog breed, our founder named Shepherd Concepts after the late Sherman Gilbert – his devoted brother, cherished family member, and loving best friend.
Like Sherman, our clients, partners, and community know that we are there for all their needs – they merely need to look right beside.
To be a passionate pioneer and partner to our clients and community through our preeminent commercial, residential, and contractual infrastructure development – unsurpassed in quality, workmanship, and innovation.
Quality. Integrity. Commitment.
