Dr. Sherman is a native of Frederick, Oklahoma. He graduated from Oklahoma State University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2000. He has special interests in small animal preventative health, internal medicine, and dairy production medicine. He was named Food Animal Practitioner of the Year for 2015 by the Texas Veterinary Medical Association. In his spare time, he enjoys spending time improving his fly-fishing technique. He and his wife Shanon have two children, Matthew and Madelyn. They also have three cats named Grover, Murphy, and Daisy. In the spring, he enjoys hunting for turkeys, and his favorite fall activity is watching college football when he goes to visit his children at their colleges. He and his wife have two cats—Walter and John Denver. Walter is a fat black cat whose first and only love is cat food, and John Denver is their long-haired cat that is likely the friendliest cat you could meet. His favorite experience from working at HCVC is not one particular time or event; it is the people. He says he has been blessed to get to help our clients with their pets and livestock through the years, and his goal is to be the best doctor he can be every time he sees them. He also points out that he is blessed to be surrounded by a team of co-workers that cares for one another and strives to do their best [citation][4].
