Jeremy started at the University of Illinois in 1989 with the intention of becoming a veterinarian. After three semesters studying Animal Science he decided it wasn’t for him and began taking flight classes through the Institute of Aviation. He graduated with a major in Leisure Studies (since renamed to Recreation Management). With a solid grasp of flying airplanes and how to properly spend his leisure time, he moved to Brownsville, Texas to become a flight instructor in order to build the flight time needed to become an airline pilot. After a little over a year of instructing he was hired by Continental Express airlines in March 1997. He flew an ATR-42 turboprop and an Embraer-145 regional jet at Continental Express until getting hired at Continental Airlines in 2005.

At Continental he flew the Boeing 757 and 767 out of Newark for 7 years, flying mostly trips to Europe. As a result of Continental’s merger with United he was able to switch bases to Chicago O’Hare and began flying the Boeing 737 in 2012, upgrading to captain in 2013. When he’s not flying he likes to exercise, spend time with his family, and play video games. He tries to do a triathlon every year in addition to the occasional running race.

Jeremy joined the Lodge late in his college career, and served as rush chair, social chair and #5. He has served multiple two-year terms as a trustee on the Board dating back to 1999, and currently serves as a trustee today. Jeremy has played an important role on the board over the years, organizing and running various alumni events, including alumni-active softball games, family picnics and other and alumni outings.
