David Sheppard

Hi there! My name is David Sheppard and I’m a proud Gonzaga University alum. I have many passions, but two standout in particular – traveling and my Zags. I am beginning an exciting new chapter of my life, one in which both foreign exploration and Gonzaga are featured prominently. I am currently teaching high school English through the Japanese Exchange & Teaching (JET) Program in Niigata, Japan and serving as President of Gonzaga’s Japan Alumni Chapter.

The ZagJET Blog (I hope the blog name is self-explanatory!) is a forum to share my experiences teaching English, exploring Japan, and spreading the Zag Spirit however/wherever I can!

I welcome any and all feedback and would love to hear from family, friends and even strangers who read my blog. Feel free to email me at [email protected], add me on Facebook, or send a letter the old fashioned way at:

Thanks for taking the time to read my stories! Go Zags!
