Jeremy has a variety of responsibilities at Viridian Education including client engagement, team management, operations, support, and of course software development. Jeremy is not an educator but has had a passion for education throughout his professional career. Starting in 2001 as the first developer at Sanford System, Jeremy was instrumental in the development of many unique reports as well as the early versions of what has become the Inspect Item Bank. Jeremy then moved to Adrylan Communications, the parent company of EADMS. While there, Jeremy and the team modernized the entire application as well as added one of the first available online testing systems for use in schools. Jeremy then spent a few years working outside of education in the business services and retail industries. Although these positions paid well, and the work was interesting, nothing felt as good as supporting educators and students. The need to help educators led Jeremy and his longtime friend and associate Jimmie Houts to start Red Wall in 2007 with the express purpose of disrupting the education space and helping to answer tough questions with data. While running under the banner of Red Wall, Jeremy's work focused exclusively on K-12 education while working on products like InnovateEdu’s Cortex Learning Management System, and Dave Long and Associates' Superintendent search website and workflow software. Even SHAPE Behavior started as a Red Wall side gig years before it became the flagship product it is today. Jeremy, through Red Wall, co-founded and managed SHAPE Education. In addition to working directly on all of SHAPE's products, he was the project manager and principal software engineer for the Improvement Data Center as part of the System Improvement Leads grant which successfully transitioned to a maintenance team at the end of the grant and is now part of CALTAN. Jeremy is also a veteran having served 9 years in the US Army and CA National Guard. He was deployed on 3 separate occasions in support of operations in Bosnia, Kosovo, and Iraq.In the few spare moments he has, you can find Jeremy out Jeepin' with his wife and two dogs.
