Biography: Jeremy White

       Jeremy White, a 33 year old man who is the oldest out of his two brothers and one sister was born in Sacramento, California 1996. White’s parents separated when he turned the age of 6 years. After the tragic separation between his mother and father, his biggest influential figure was his mother, who he states is kind-hearted, and is selfless and always looks out for others more than her own self. White definitely took on the characteristics of his mother, looking at the world in a positive outlook but also looking out for people more than himself. From then on, Jeremy White was very intrigued towards the music world/industry. More or less throughout his educational era, he usually hanged around with a “musicians” sub-culture. White’s biggest goal through the high school years was to be in a band and from then on become famous through the record companies etc. What influenced him throughout his drumming career was the bands Rush, and Led Zeppelin and other bands in that genre. After his High school education, he attended to Sacramento state and also attended grad school at SDSU and majored in music as a drummer. Soon after he graduated from college, White was asked to join the band from Japan called “2 Ball Lou” and the U.S. band called “Revelation Smile. Though White enjoyed every moment of touring and playing the drums, he soon figured out that the music industry itself to first get a record deal and collaborating with his music members in the band were extremely complicated. After retiring playing the drums and enjoying the touring life of a musician, he turned his attention towards the investment field. Today he is a financial planner at the company North Western Mutual and is very satisfied with being a financial planner because White is able to help companies and people themselves with financial advice and help. White fears are mainly sharks because of an event that happened in a dream when he was young in age where he dreamt about being isolated in a tank full of sharks beneath his feet. In White’s free time he likes to go to his work to help people with financial issues, read, travel from place to place, and eat many types of food. Throughout Jeremy White’s life, his main thing towards human curiosity wanted to try new things. White’s pros and cons to his habits are having a positive outlook on the world and people and do as much possible but; taking on too much can be overwhelming and hard at the same time. A great example of this is when he purchased and ran his own company. The challenges were being self-employed, non governed checks, keeping track of billings and the employers. To White, this was a huge success but in the end was way too much for White to work with. And so in the end, since the economy in the 2000’s were terrible, he was forced to sell the company as soon as possible before anything became too extreme. Jeremy White wishes to vacate himself to the Hawaiian islands in ten years but in the end is scared to jump in the ocean because of sharks though he loves to swim he prefers indoor swimming arenas. Though Jeremy White had his up and downs throughout his life about his musician career and investment career, he always followed the motto to do everything he can and always have a positive outlook on everything even if the times are tough.
