In early 2005, he moved to Tokyo, Japan and became the 1st American to ever work in Japan as a full-time assistant illustrator on a popular Japanese manga.... Fist of the North Star and Fist of the Blue Sky. Jeremy was hired by Tetsuo Hara in person only 2 days after Jeremy arrived in Tokyo. He was then personally trained by Tetsuo Hara and his staff for several months before contributing heavily to the manga. Jeremy worked and contributed to the manga series from 2005-2006 which included Fist of the Blue Sky Volumes 13, 14 and 15 and several volumes of Fist of The North Star: Master Edition. During his time in Japan, he also became the lead vocalist for Japanese death metal band Detritum.

After spending nearly 3 years living and working in Japan, Jeremy moved back to his hometown of Lexington, KY where he is currently writing and illustrating Black Forest of the Sleeping Giant, a comic book that is based around his experiences in Japan but with a bit of a fantasy twist.
