Believing that life is not a spectator sport, Jeremy has for years been quite active within his community. He has served on the boards of over a dozen nonprofit organizations, operating as both an active board member and a trusted advisor. In addition to the 75+ clients served by EPIC Mission since its founding in 2013, Jeremy takes on several pro-bono clients each year in order to help ensure that the organizations who most need help are not denied assistance due to lack of funding. His personal mantra is to serve others and those who serve others, and he looks forward to learning how he and EPIC Mission may be of service to you and those around you. After nearly 20 years away, Mr. Turner has recently moved from Charlotte, NC and once again lives in Huntington, WV with his wife Brandie and their assortment of 4-legged children.
