At 19, Jeremy was your typical San Diego State University Sophomore. He had friends, sports, fraternity and most importantly, perfect 20/20 vision. Then it happened, no warning, no time to prepare. His life began to blur. Over the next few months, he lost central vision in his right eye, followed closely by his left. The diagnosis: a rare genetic disorder called Lebers Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON), a disease that affects a mere 100 people in the U.S. each year with no treatment or cure in sight. At first, he thought losing his sight meant forfeiting his life. But he soon learned that with every challenge comes an opportunity for growth.

With hard work, dedication, and his dad as his guide, a year after losing his sight he was able to compete in and win the 2010 World Blind Golf Championship in England. He’s since won 2 more World & 8 National Blind Golf Championships.
