Jeremy began his career in investment banking as an institutional bond broker in Memphis, TN.

Under Jeremy’s leadership, Kaloosa built the first green certified home in the state of Alabama and one of the first LEED certified commercial projects in the state before ultimately ceasing operations in 2011.
