Jeremiah comes from a proud lineage of commercial sign painters. His father did it. His grandfather did it. And in some ways he has carried on that tradition – only instead of the excruciating hand cramps and chronic back pain that plagued his forefathers, he merely suffers through overly-dramatized paper cuts and the occasional case of writer’s block.
Following a childhood spent dabbling in comic-book making, metal-band fronting, and ventriloquism, he obtained an Advertising degree from The University of Nebraska in Lincoln. Then, after a brief stint writing hospital commercials, furniture store poems, and car dealership jingles at local agencies, Jeremiah furthered his writing education at The Creative Circus in Atlanta where he penned the school’s tagline “Where weird kids become employable.”
Staying true to the portentous slogan, he has spent considerable time as an employed person creating, collaborating, managing, and mentoring at Airbnb in San Francisco, CA, Apple in Cupertino and Los Angeles, Publicis New York, RPA in Santa Monica, CA, Fallon in Minneapolis, MN, Mullen in Winston-Salem, NC, and The Richard’s Group in Dallas, TX.
Jeremiah’s work has been honored by The One Show, D&AD, The Effies, The Addys, Communication Arts, The FWA, Ads of the World, and CMYK. And throughout his career, he’s lent adverbs and adjectives like “massively” and “colossal” to a massively colossal array of clients including Airbnb, Apple, Citibank, Acura, Cadillac, Pep Boys, Go RVing, Heineken, Patron, Chick-fil-A, Home Depot, Bridgestone, Food Lion, Orkin, Wawa Convenience Stores, The Other White Meat, The Catfish Institute, Hamburger Helper, Charter Cable, Toys"R"Us, Methodist Health System, Reliant Energy, ConAgra Foods, and Boys and Girls Club. Despite his best efforts though, Jeremiah has yet to successfully incorporate the adverb “swimmingly” into any of his work.
When he’s not writing odes to iPhones, luxury sportscars, or meat, you might find Jeremiah catching a local concert, globetrotting, reading this and that, or staring off into the middle distance thinking about how funny life is.
