The Alumni Speaker Series brings alumni back to campus to share their stories and career advice with current students and fellow alumni. Speakers have earned a University of Washington Tacoma degree, professional certification, or in special cases, have attended a University of Washington campus for at least two years and have graduated from another accredited college or university. This also includes UW alumni who live and/or work in Tacoma or the South Sound and have a positive impact on UW Tacoma, Tacoma, and the South Sound.

Originally from Georgia, Jeremy is a Navy veteran who served as a combat medic in Iraq.
Outside of work, he loves the outdoors, and considers himself a life-long learner. He is also a self-professed “sneaker head” who loves sports (especially football), and an avid cyclist who enjoys gravel riding. He, his wife, and their five children live in Mill Creek.
