The Genesis and Evolution of the Show

​
His show was a vibrant mosaic of musical genres — rock, pop, jazz, blues, and country — each episode crafted to offer a rich, cohesive auditory experience.
​
Jeremy's ability to connect with his audience did not go unnoticed by his fellow radio broadcasters at the radio station.
​
They saw in Jeremy a potential talk show host whose talents could thrive in a more conversational format.
​
Despite this promising path in broadcasting, Jeremy felt a compelling draw towards education.
His transition from the dynamic world of FM radio to the more structured yet profoundly impactful realm of teaching marked a significant shift in his career.

Rise to School Administration
Jeremy's educational career evolved rapidly; he moved from being a teacher to assuming the role of a school administrator.
As an administrator, he brought the same passion and innovation that had characterized his teaching and under his leadership, his school earned California (PBIS) Gold Status ranking as the top PBIS school in the district and among the top county wide.
​
His leadership not only impacted the students at his site but soon impacted students at the county, regional, statewide, and national levels.

Jeremy advocated for policies that subsequently impacted and benefited over Six million students across California.
Jeremy was nominated and subsequently elected as the Vice President of Legislative Action for a major educational organization.

He has participated in high-level meetings and discussions among the nation’s top education leaders, lawmakers, members of the President's administration, Cabinet members, governors, U.S. Secretaries of Education, state-level Secretaries of Education, members of Congress, and top business leaders. ​
Birth of the Show
