Shepard Rose was born and raised in South Carolina, Most of his youth was spent in Hilton Head, where he also returned to after attending college at the University of Georgia and Vanderbilt. He is the nephew of B Boykin Rose, who ran the South Carolina Department of Public Safety, and his family name is attached to both the town of Boykin and the state dog, the Boykin Spaniel. After getting his MBA, he worked in real estate development.
While Rose comes from old money, he has also made some of his own both in real estate and from the show "Southern Charm." On this reality show, he is one of six socialites enjoying the charms of a Southern life. He is the easy-going ladies' man in the group. With some help from the fame that he has gained from the show, he plans to start up a restaurant in Charlestown with a couple of friends. Called the Palace Hotel, this dive bar will specialize in serving gourmet hot dogs.
