Sherard is from Lakewood Township, New Jersey and graduated from Saint Michael's College with a bachelor's degree in both education and mathematics. He has two children. He and his wife Jennifer live in Lynchburg, Virginia.
Following his graduation from college, Sherard entered coaching in men's basketball, spending fourteen seasons at various collegiate and preparatory programs. In 2007, he switched from men's basketball to women's basketball, joining the staff of Carey Green at Liberty University. He had previously served as a men's assistant coach for the Flames during the 2005–06 and 2006–07 seasons under Randy Dunton.
