Carl Shepherd is the Founder and Owner of CDS Refresh, bringing over 25 years of experience serving the DFW Metroplex's break room and food service needs. A US Navy veteran, Carl developed deep expertise in supply chain management, equipment procurement, and logistics during his military service, later honing his skills through national retail pharmacy management and merchandising supervision.
