Schepker’s dream of serving in the U.S. military was thwarted due to a congenital heart condition, hypoplastic right heart syndrome, which has resulted in three open-heart surgeries. Upon turning 18, Schepker was removed from the children’s heart transplant list in Louisville and is waiting to be added to the adult transplant list in Nashville. He has also suffered from severe anxiety and depression after his father’s death during his freshman year of high school. After learning that he has ancestors who fought in the American Civil War, Schepker was inspired to become involved with reenacting as a way to keep history alive and give back to the community since he is not eligible to join the military. In August 2024, Schepker will attend Bluegrass Community College to pursue an associate’s degree in cardiac sonography. Schepker commented, “As a heart patient, I struggle physically and mentally like the soldiers in the Civil War did, but I always pull through.”
