M3 and APS® Partner to Foster The Shepherd Hotel's Mission – Positively Impact The Lives of Others
In 2011, Rick Hayduk, a long-time and experienced hotelier, was inspired to open a hotel that employed individuals with intellectual disabilities with the goal in mind of positively impacting the lives of others and giving everyone a chance for forward advancement in the hospitality industry. After learning the ins and outs of the hospitality industry for over three decades and becoming a true hospitality veteran, Hayduk opened The Shepherd Hotel in April of 2022 with the help of Rich Davies, a third-generation real estate developer, and incredibly involved Clemson Alumni.
