Shephard's official Bravo bio advises he hails from Montreal and has always been a travel junkie, entering yachting by chance after nabbing a job as a deckhand aboard a 50-foot classic sailboat. Now he's more than 20 years in, with 11 banked as captain of the Parsifal III. Captain Glenn is comfortable catering to high-end guests and rarely loses his cool unless pushed. Following a boat crash, he unleashed an expletive-filled rant, reasoning to E! News that he's only human. 

The seasoned sailor was quick to note, however, "I promise you I didn't do it on purpose for the drama" (via E! News). On whether his leadership style more closely resembles Captain Lee or Captain Sandy, Shephard told E! News, "I may have a little bit of both of them, but I'm probably a little bit more laid back than they are ... . I have a very laid back [style], not completely hands off but I like to give ownership of the departments to my department heads. ... I consider myself a macromanager."
