Jeremy is a leader whose mission in life is to move the needle on criminal and juvenile justice reform. He has a deep passion for working with our youth, especially those who are system impacted. Over the last decade, his advocacy career has included working with the child welfare system, system-impacted adults and youth, and those who are impacted by mental health and substance use concerns. These experiences contribute to Jeremy’s philosophy around prevention and intervention within the justice system, alternatives to incarceration, and reducing recidivism.

He also ensured the coordination of services to support court return and eventual case closure. In his work with TBP, Jeremy utilized qualitative and quantitative data to encourage stakeholders to shift practices regarding the use of cash bail to better serve the people of Ohio. He also worked with the Ohio Legislature to advocate for statewide bail reform.
