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. When Jeremy is not working, he enjoys spending time with friends and family, golfing, fishing, traveling and cheering on The Herd.
