A little bit about me...

My name is Jeremy Medley. I was born and raised in Huntsville, Alabama with two younger brothers and a older sister. My childhood was spent having pecan wars, playing sports, riding bicycles, and developing lifelong friendships with the neighborhood kids. I had a great experience in high school, in large part due to coaches and teachers that were incredible mentors. Sports became a passion of mine, particularly baseball. This ultimately led to getting scholarships to two junior colleges in Alabama. After my stint of being an aspiring major league baseball player was over, I came back to Huntsville in search of employment. I worked many jobs in the manufacturing, corporate, and retail fields, and landed at UPS long-term. During that time, I began slowly but surely chipping away at my bachelor's degree with a major in Social Science and a minor in Secondary Education. When I had been employed with UPS for five years, full-time management spots were becoming available. Those positions required a four year degree, so I changed my major to Liberal Studies to quickly graduate and seek full-time employment with UPS. Nearly ten years after graduating high school, I was walking across the stage as a college graduate from the University of Athens State. Shortly after that, I met a lovely lady that lived in Nashville, Tennessee. Long story short, after a year burning up Interstate 65, I made the move to Nashville, and got married shortly after. I landed a job with Metro Government of Davidson County working for the Davidson County Juvenile Court Clerk. After a few short months, I was moved to the courtroom to be a courtroom clerk in a dependency, neglect and delinquent courtroom. After becoming involved with the Big Brothers Big Sisters program in October of 2014, I began considering going back to school to do something to help make an impact in children's lives full time. This led me to MTSU and I'm very excited for the journey that is ahead of me!
