Author. Adventurer. Teacher.
Author. Adventurer. Teacher.
“Wonderful piece of writing. Jeremy is easily the best feature writer in this division. Colorful, compelling storytelling.”
-- 2008 Nevada Press Association Better Newspaper Contest judges commenting on Jeremy's story on adventure photographer Corey Rich.
Jeremy's first book, In Search of Powder, follows an eight-year newspaper career as a sports writer. His sports and outdoors writing in the Lake Tahoe area garnered numerous awards from the California Newspaper Publishers Association and Nevada Press Association.
His work has appeared in regional and national magazines, including Skiing and Powder, and in newspapers such as the Seattle Times, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review and Tacoma News Tribune.
An avid mountaineer and snowboarder, Jeremy grew up skiing in Arizona, where, sadly, he wore jeans on the slopes. He switched to snowboarding after moving to Lake Tahoe. Before his daughter was born, he was snowboarding, on average, 85 days each winter, with a personal record of 108 during the 2006-07 season. On powder days, you can find him at Kirkwood -- or changing diapers.
He's traveled extensively throughout the mountains of North America, South America and Europe. Although he's biased toward California's Sierra Nevada, his favorite climbing spot is Peru's Cordillera Blanca.
Jeremy earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he was a member of the men's soccer team. He has a Journalism teaching credential and recently earned his Master of Arts in Teaching degree from Sierra Nevada College in Incline Village, Nevada.
He lives in South Lake Tahoe, California, with his wife, Isabelle, daughter, Olivia, and their Boxer, Kona.
