Jeremy's first book, In Search of Powder, follows an
eight-year newspaper career as a sports writer. His sports and outdoors
writing in the Lake Tahoe area garnered numerous awards from the
California Newspaper Publishers Association and Nevada Press
Association.

His work has appeared in regional and national magazines, including Skiing and Powder, and in newspapers such as the Seattle Times, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review and Tacoma News Tribune.

An avid mountaineer and snowboarder, Jeremy grew up skiing in Arizona,
where, sadly, he wore jeans on the slopes. He switched to snowboarding
after moving to Lake Tahoe. Before his daughter was born, he was
snowboarding, on average, 85 days each winter, with a personal record of
108 during the 2006-07 season. On powder days, you can find him at
Kirkwood -- or changing diapers.

He's traveled extensively throughout the mountains of North America,
South America and Europe. Although he's biased toward California's
Sierra Nevada, his favorite climbing spot is Peru's Cordillera Blanca.

Jeremy earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism at Marquette
University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he was a member of the men's
soccer team. He has an English teaching credential and is working toward
his Master of Arts in Teaching degree from Sierra Nevada College in
Incline Village, Nevada.

He lives in South Lake Tahoe, California, with his wife, Isabelle, daughter, Olivia, and their Boxer, Kona.
