Spring 2019

Jeremy Sry

Alumni Jeremy Sry, didn’t start out with the career he’s embarked on these last few years; a career of self-discovery and self-employment, something he hadn’t anticipated when graduating UCI in 2015. As a self-made creative director, Jeremy began working behind the camera publishing his works on YouTube to start. Scouted for his talents behind the camera, Jeremy quickly made a name for himself in the social media commercial industry which in turn led to working with huge companies such as Live Fit, Dojo; and eventually  premiering a commercial work of his own on Pay-Per-View television, featuring artists and entertainers such as bantamweight world champion, Tj Dillashaw, the face of social media entrepreneurship, Gary Vee, and even established rapper 2 Chainz. While growing his name, he also grew a love for pursuing a healthy lifestyle which he’s used to bridge a connection between himself and others with the same goals. Through online coaching, he’s been able to guide and follow through with incredible emotional and physical transformations for his fitness members.
