Growing up in a dysfunctional home with abuse, domestic violence and alcoholism, Jeremiah was introduced to God’s love at the age of 13 and began to realize that there were opportunities for a better life. Blessed by God with athletic ability, Jeremiah was led to the University of Alabama and played football under the legendary, Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant. Coach Bryant instilled discipline and leadership into Jeremiah’s life and he was taught that with a positive attitude, strong work ethics and integrity, he could do great things. In Jeremiah’s senior year he was selected the M.V.P. in Coach Bryant’s last Liberty Bowl game. For six years, Jeremiah played professional football with Tampa Bay and Denver. As a member of the Denver Broncos, he played in Super Bowl XXII between the Denver Broncos and Washington Redskins.
Throughout his professional career, Jeremiah knew that he had a call from God to mentor, coach and minister to young people. It was clear to him that he was being called to return from the roots of which he came, the inner city. He was called to reach out to inner city youth and to bring them hope and faith for the future.
