Fashion helps explain the transition former Kentucky player Jeff Sheppard said he made “from basketball to life.”
As a financial adviser for Family Wealth Group, Sheppard wears a coat and tie every work day. “I enjoy my day uniform,” he said with a chuckle.
Here’s an understatement: When he was a UK player and student 20 years ago, Sheppard typically did not wear a coat and tie. Perhaps this was never more clear than when then-UK Coach Tubby Smith asked Sheppard to go to the Big Apple and accept on his behalf The New York Athletic Club’s Winged Foot Award.
