Jeremiah was born in the Netherlands and grew up in Gatlinburg TN, spending much of his youth exploring the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. His parents, Beatrix and Buzz, met when they were both students at Georgia Tech. Buzz loved football, but was too small to play, so he became the team mascot. Jeremiah is also the great-nephew of a famous actress, who starred in The Andy Griffith Show and Mayberry RFD, playing “Aunt Bee” (after whom Beatrix was named). Jeremiah attended Embry-Riddle and majored in Aeronautics, with a minor in Apiculture. While in school, he earned the nickname “The Flying Dutchman” based on his heritage and daring flight maneuvers. He went on to fly for the Yellow Angels, and discovered Martha’s Vineyard while stationed at Otis Air Force Base. He soon came to love the Island and all its special places. He moved to MV full time after the Air Force and now gives tourists thrilling trick flights in his bright red biplane, and also serves as the CPO (Chief Pollination Officer) for the Island Bee Company. His ‘guilty pleasure’ is a lunch of Nancy’s clam strips, onion rings, and a Bad Martha’s Honey Double IPA.
