Jeremy is happiest when he’s moving; he can be found on the ice playing hockey, out for a run, or weightlifting. When he slows down, he enjoys reading or watching a good thriller — the scarier, the better. And whenever he gets the chance, Jeremy packs a bag and heads somewhere new, going backpacking, exploring, or hiking.
