Born in the flatlands of the Midwest, Jeremiah did not begin climbing seriously until he joined the climbing club at Iowa State University in 2005. From there he moved east where he promptly decided to drop out of law school and pursue guiding as a career because he couldn't concentrate on anything else. After managing the rock and ice guiding for an outdoor education center and working as support staff for a wilderness therapy program he started working as a guide in Colorado in 2007. After working in the Colorado area as a guide for other companies for several years he decided to start his own in 2010.

While originally a southern boy from Mississippi he now makes his home with a growing family in Ouray on the western side of Colorado. His earliest real climbing experiences were in the hills of Tennessee but he really cut his teeth on the steep granite walls of North Carolina. Even after being on the sharp end for twenty years he still loves climbing now as much as when he first started. While he started on smaller cliffs he's most drawn to the bigger mountains whether in mountain boots or climbing shoes any day in the mountains is a good day. The mountains are teaching every day and he enjoys sharing that knowledge honed over decades of experience with all the new people he gets to meet.
