What did Bobby Sherman do after leaving entertainment?
Sherman trained and worked as an emergency medical technician (EMT), then taught first aid and CPR to police recruits. AP reported that he donated his salary from that work. A 2004 tribute in the Congressional Record described him as a certified EMT and also recognized his work as an actor, singer, producer, and director.
In a 1997 interview with the Tulsa World, quoted by AP, Sherman reflected on his years in entertainment: “A lot of times, people say, ‘Well, if you could go back and change things, what would you do?’ And I don’t think I’d change a thing – except to maybe be a little bit more aware of it, because I probably could’ve relished the fun of it a little more. It was a lot of work. It was a lot of blood, sweat and tears. But it was the best of times.”
