Early life and career
Born in Brooklyn, New York. Shad is of Haitian and Curaçaoan descent. His father, Ben Gaspard, is a former street enforcer for street gangs and personal security guard in the early 1970s, who worked for gangster Frank Lucas and now owns Mcfay Contracting Inc. Shad is the third of six siblings.
When he was five years old Shad’s father began training him in boxing and at age eight, he began training in a mixture of different martial arts. As a student, Shad loved to fight and quickly developed into an aggressive fighter, winning many fights as an amateur. His mother gave him the nickname “Beast” as a result of his aggressiveness. At the age of sixteen, Shad began prize fighting for promoter Hardbody Harrison, a former World Championship Wrestling wrestler and FX Tough Man Champion, in bar fighting tournaments such as boxing, kickboxing, mixed martial arts (MMA), and tough man competitions. Even though Shad was only sixteen years old, he competed against adults who were older than he was by five to twenty years. Gaspard holds won-loss records as a No Holds Barred fighter (35–7) and an amateur boxer (57–26).
