Growing up in Elbert, Colorado, Coach Jeremy Kerns had a love for athletics and competition.  This was aided by impactful coaches that he credits for opening his eyes to the life of a teacher-coach.  After graduating from the University of Northern Colorado, where he had actively sought out opportunities to gain experiences in coaching, he began his teaching and coaching career at Byers High School in 2004.  Though he believes he had a lot to learn when he first started, he developed solid philosophies and the important relationships that continue to keep him in Byers to this day.
