Jeremy is an US Navy veteran, and has tire experience from manufacturing, prototype development, finite element analysis, and project management. Combined, over 20 years of both practical and theoretical mechanical experience.
Jeremy studied Mechanical Engineering at the University at Buffalo, was team captain on the Formula SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) team, worked with the Baja SAE team, and chose electives specifically focusing on Vehicle Dynamics.
Jeremy worked at two tire manufacturers from 2008 to 2021. In that time, he was involved in almost every aspect of tire design and development, from material preparation, concept design, and vehicle testing. As a Motorcycle Tire Development Engineer, he oversaw all motorcycle tire development builds for replacement, OE, and race tires. Building techniques ranged from bias, radial, jointless band radial, and gear pump. As a Motorcycle Tire Design Engineer, he would computer model tires that involved several theoretical approaches, results were verified through tire building and testing. As a Passenger Car and Light Tire Design Engineer he conducted benchmark testing of competitor tires, designed prototype tread designs, did profile comparisons, evaluated tire construction changes, and compared compound changes.
Jeremy also has well over 20 years of racing experience including road racing, autocross, track days, ice racing, rallycross, and circle track. Jeremy has raced on a variety of surface conditions including asphalt, concrete, dirt, mud, snow and ice on frozen lakes at facilities ranging from a farmer’s field to world class racetracks. As the chief instructor for regional autocross, Jeremy has driven approximately 100 different vehicles at speed, ranging from stock to open wheel, rear wheel drive, front wheel drive, all-wheel drive, mid-engine, and has ridden in hundreds more.
