A Distinguished Graduate from the United States Air Force Academy, Jeremy understands the value of both technical and academic education. His Air Force career saw him and his family live all over the United States, and they spent five years in China and Taiwan.

He and his wife Tami have five children, all of whom attend or have graduated from ALA schools.
