Two months after graduating from Fountain Hill High, Jeremy received an electric shock while working on a farm, and his rodeo plans were temporarily derailed.
In September 2000, while still a student at UAM, Jeremy applied for and received his membership to the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association.
After the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States of America, Jeremy enlisted in the Air Force and went on to earn his commission in December 2001.
During his rodeo career, he was appointed Case 05-195 and represented the United States Air Force[4] as the only professional bullfighter endorsed by the Pentagon[3] in the history of the USAF.
He was a Wrangler endorsee, an ad spokesman for Bresnan Communications, and featured by Mutual of Omaha in the 2010 Aha Moment TV commercial campaign.
