Crew Profile: Collin Shepley
November 22, 2008
Collin Shepley is “a crew-member’s kind of crew-member.” He does a little bit of everything for Darius Goes West.
He is a caregiver for Darius…
serves as DGW’s resident technology expert…
helps sell merchandise on the road…
and speaks to audiences about DGW from his perspective as a Special Education major.
Plus, most people at Darius Goes West describe Collin as the funniest crew member.
His eating habits are definitely humorous…
at least when they’re not downright frightening.
Collin’s also great with kids.
Everyone who meets him agrees: he’s going to be a great teacher.
Next year, he’ll go back to UGA and finish up his degree in Special Education.
Collin is also a student of music: he played bass in a band called PositraxioN, and he creates beats digitally. Looping beats lets Collin meld his passion and skill for music with his knack for technology.
Darius Goes West really relies on this ability to combine knowledge with creativity.
In fact, we rely on it so much that, as this blog is being written, Collin is de-bugging a problem with the audio-visual set-up at our Cleveland screening tonight!
If we didn’t have him, we would get frustrated with computers WAY too much. Plus, things would be a lot less interesting…
“hey mom, hey dad! Feel free to send me some money while we r on the road. I owe darius 50 bucks for a bet I can’t tell u about over the blog…. Love you! bye!”
That’s Collin!

The rowdy crew sets a course for California where they hope to convince MTV to customize Darius's wheelchair on the hit show, Pimp My Ride. Darius Goes West has been enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of people of all ages all around the world.
The Movement
Darius Goes West is more than a film. The continuing story of Darius, his crew, and the tens of thousands of supporters they have met in their travels can be experienced on this website. This site is continually updated with short videos, blog posts, and innovative initiatives that aim to affect a cure for DMD.

For information on the Collin Shepley Fan Club, contact Aidan Sandor, fan club president.
(Aidan would also like to add that if ya’ll make a sequel to DGW, it would be really cool to have a scene where Darius & Collin have a giant Pokemon battle.)
