— Ron Horst

“I used to be intimidated by Jeremy and think that he was this big, scary, tough, black belt gamer guy, but over time I have worked my way into his heart and now know that he’s really just a softy with a big heart who cooks and grows the most amazing food and loves cuddling his furry friends.”

— Audrey Lounsbury

— Angela Bigler

“There is nobody I would rather be stuck on a road trip with than Jeremy.  Within minutes, the conversation can swerve from Video Games to Kung Fu to Macro-Economic Principles. Each of his thoughts and opinions will be thought out and intelligent, and he can hold a conversation on every single topic known to man.  He might be quietly judging you and thinking you’re stupid, but you’ll never know it. His insane versatility makes him unique.  His karate skills and bad boy tattoos give him all the street cred he needs, but then seeing him nerding out at a Magic the Gathering tournament the next week helps keep him humble.

Jeremy is the person you want by your side in any kind of situation. Whether that is an unexpected bar fight, or a debate on quantum physics. He’ll make you look good.”

— Joshua Brooks, magical friend

“The man…the cool uncle…the tomato whisperer.”

— Anonymous tomato lover

“With such a stern appearance, it’s surprising that this burly, tattooed, RBF’d gentleman is actually one with nature and small children. He is an excellent replacement for a climbing gym and is especially entertaining when coming off of anesthesia. Favorite sightings include teeny rainbow running shorts, human-cat-tree and combat boot hipster work attire.

5-star friendship review.”

— Allison Lacy

“I remember flying home from California to see you right after you were born. You were my first nephew. I spent the night on the couch with you in the bassinet so your mother could get some much needed sleep. What a head of hair you had!”

— Karen Pepper

“He really knows how to pour paint on canvas.”

— Emma Hoffman

“He’s got an old man hairline and lots of tattoos which old people don’t have. He tries to be cool and fit in with the young kids. He wears a little white robe with a yellow belt. He makes cookies every year with his mommy and then makes fun of my sprinkle decorating. He likes to take long walks on the beach. His best friends are dogs.”

— Delanie Hoffman (mean girl)

“To be accurate, Delanie, Jeremy has a BLACK belt in both Hapkido and Jiu jitsu.”

— Angela Bigler

“Uncle Jeremy is kind of tall…kind of old…kind of cool…”

— Landon Hoffman

“Uncle Jeremy has a huge mustache and lots of hair.”

— Ethan Bigler

“He’s a walking mullet - all business appearing on the outside but full party underneath. Taking the quote ‘Your body is a canvas, so decorate it’ quite literally.”

— Jen Hoffman

“Uncle Jeremy kicks butt!”

— Jared Hoffman

“Jeremy is like a Yeti, everyone has heard of him but few people actually see him.”
