Jeremy Keller
Chief PROGRAM Officer
Jeremy heard the call to serve early on & grew up knowing what he wanted to do - fight for his country. High school couldn’t end fast enough. To the surprise of his parents, he enlisted in the U.S. Army during his junior year of high school through the Delayed Entry Program.
Five days after graduation, his recruiter pulled into the driveway of the New York country home he’d lived in for the first 18 years of his life. Jeremy hugged his parents goodbye & began the first day of what would turn into a 20-year career.
Basic Training began in July of 2001. It was only 3 short months later when tragedy struck New York City: 9/11. Jeremy’s 1st deployment was to known combat in northwestern Afghanistan. Over the course of his 17-year career in Special Operations - assigned to 1st & 3rd Ranger Battalions, 75th Ranger Regiment - Jeremy deployed 18 times, spending a total of 6.5 years in combat. He has served in every position within a Ranger Rifle Company, from Private to First Sergeant. During this time, he also served as a multi-purpose K9 Handler and Kennel Master.
