Jeremy has been in charge of the Oklahoma Banker newspaper as well as the OBA website and other member communications since joining the OBA in January 2002. A native of Hartshorne and a 1997 graduate of the University of Oklahoma, he enjoys meeting and talking with the different people he encounters while doing his job.

When not working, Jeremy loves to hike, read, watch football, baseball and boxing and teach journalism to high school and college students.
