Jeremy was born in Atlanta, Georgia but he grew up in the small town of Vidalia. His interest in storytelling led him to study film and journalism at the University of Georgia. He then went to the Savannah College of Art & Design to complete his Master's Degree in writing and directing. While he was a student, he was cast in Robert Redford's film 'The Conspirator'. He credits this experience as "pivotal" in his acting and filmmaking career. Since completing his Master's Degree, Jeremy continues to work in front and behind the camera.
