“I am always working on improving my skills as a racer. Finding the sport of cycling has improved my life in many ways. I feel healthier, happier, and just all around have a better outlook on life. I like to set an example for my son and other young athletes. If you work hard at something, you will achieve your goals.”

Currently rancked eight in the TXBRA Men 4 Div, Jeremy was seventh in the general classification at the Columbus stage race 2005. At the Memorial Crit 2005 series, he placed fourth overall with several second place finishes in the 4/5 category. His ultimate goal is to become a Cat 1 racer on road. While pursuing this goal, he would like to race in other cycling disciplines like cyclo-cross, mountain, and track.

Jeremy started out as a club rider riding in groups on weekends. Then, he decided to take my cycling to the next level and race the Fayetteville stage race after seeing a race flyer in 2003.

An all around rider with many strengths, Jeremy can climb well at the front of the pack, he has sustained power to break away or bridge up to a group, and can sprint well when needed. He is versatile and perform best as a team worker. He feels he has the potential to improve in all of these areas in order to accomplish more out of cycling. He prefers racing stages that combine all types of terrains like flats, hills, and rollers which help even out the field.

A native of La Porte, Texas, Jeremy graduated from San Jacinto College and is a Terminal Manager for a stevedore at the Port of Houston. Cycling and running are his interests, and he also enjoys spending time with his family going to movies and traveling.
