Jeremia (he/him) is enthusiastic about contributing to creating a world where all humans and non-humans alike thrive. He has considerable experience and expertise in the field of sustainability and climate mitigation, adaptation, and resilience gained from working in academic and community settings as a teacher and scholar.  With a doctorate degree in geography, Jeremia believes that understanding geographic or spatial contexts of sustainability and climate problems and solutions is critical to creating a sustainable, equitable, and resilient world. 

Jeremia’s recent and ongoing projects with Verdis Group include sustainability and climate action planning and implementation work for zoos, aquariums, and a park district. He has developed net zero pathways for Catholic parishes, schools, and the local nonprofit Omaha Habitat for Humanity.    

Addressing sustainability challenges that our world faces today, climate-related or otherwise, requires thinking globally and acting at every scale. That is a mantra Jeremia holds dear to his heart as he seeks to work with sustainability-interested parties to create a healthy and thriving world for all. His Gallup Strengths are Context, Learner, Ideation, Input, and Belief.
