Jeremy discussed his career path in television news, and the evolution of news gathering and presentation today. 

He started his career at a Reno TV station as a teenager. It was the time before social media and the proliferation of viewing options that exist today. He explained the transition from analog to digital in media, as his career took him to El Paso, then Albuquerque. He reported on drug related violence in the city and remembers the similarities in widespread meth crimes and the series "Breaking Bad". Jeremy became an investigative reporter, working with documents, sources & public officials. At this time, the internet & social media was a significant aid in his work. 

Jeremy was hired by 9News in Denver and continued his role in investigations. Today his role at 9News is freelancing and producing his own packages for TV and social media. He explains that producing today is more challenging: he creates his assignments, writes his script, creates content with his phone (vertical stories), and airs them on TV, then social media. The latter allows him to have a national, and international audience! Click the link above to follow him and his reporting.

The Object of Rotary
is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
FIRST. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
SECOND. High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society;
THIRD. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business, and community life;
FOURTH. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
