Jeremy Svejcar was born in New Mexico but grew up in Colorado. He started his military career with the United States Air Force in 2000 and volunteered for his first deployment in 2002 after watching the 9/11 attacks unfold on live TV. In 2023, he transitioned to the Army, earning his infantryman MOS and supporting several missions both stateside and in combat zones over the next six years. 

After struggling for years after his last combat deployment in 2006 Jeremy found peace and purpose working with horses. Jeremy and his wife, Rose, established Charlie Five to help Veterans and first responders find that same purpose and peace by pairing them with their very own horse. The Charlie Five crew has successfully paired seven heroes with their own horses and supported each of them on their horsemanship journey.
