It was at Simon Fraser University (SFU) that Jeremy began his cheerleading career. He would excel in this sport with his gymnastics background and after years of earning national level accolades, he would become a 5-time world champion with Team Canada at both an athlete and coaching level. With multiple national and world titles amongst his achievements, Jeremy is known as one of the most decorated Canadians in Cheerleading history. By the way, Skylab has developed a Cheerleading app.
His accomplishments at this level helped him start a conglomerate of companies servicing the cheerleading industry with skills training, events, competitions, choreography, apparel and music.
It was at this time that Jeremy’s acting became internationally recognized for playing the role of Darwin on the Warner Bros hit TV show, Hellcats. He has been featured in American Cheerleader magazine, multiple print, and online articles and most notably on the cover of Twist Magazine.
