Jeremy Strozer is a creator within many forms with a focus on helping those who are often ignored or overlooked to find their voice. As a dad, published author, podcaster, YouTube producer, improvisational actor, coach, teacher, theatre founder, and inventor he is fascinated by ideas and personal stories, finding connections between seemingly disparate phenomena. By enjoying thinking and learning about the past he understands the present through creating its context. He has faith in the links between all things; believing there are few coincidences and almost every event has a reason. Jeremy is also inspired by the future and what could be; thereby inspiring others with his visions of what occurred and what is possible.
A neurodivergent Fulbright Scholar who has studied and taught improv, storytelling, acting, cybersecurity, strategic intelligence, scenario-based strategic planning and play around the world, Jeremy’s inspiration comes from improvisational acting; the actions and writing of Gene Sharp, Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi, Woody Guthrie, Studs Terkel, and Henry David Thoreau; and an affinity for history. He believes all stories are best told from the personal perspective and learning about history should be an emotionally driven experience. Therefore, Jeremy pushes the conviction all history is simply a personal story, compounded and woven with the personal story of everyone else, throughout time.
He has extensive corporate leadership and management experience over the course of a more than 25-year career history. Now he focuses on helping others develop innovative and collaborative teams, present their ideas, develop and implement strategies for any future, create a meaningful story, and find the joy in play.
Alongside his corporate career, Jeremy has more than 20 years of improvisational acting, storytelling, podcasting, video creation, and publishing experience. He studied at Second City Chicago, Annoyance Theatre, IO Chicago, People’s Improv Theater, Washington Improv Theater, with the Maydays, and at the D.C. Improv. Jeremy has published four books and produced a podcast and YouTube videos of the human experience in war within the Threads Of The War series.
Raised in California, Jeremy moved to the Washington, D.C. area at the age of 18 to attend university. Through education and luck, he became a Fulbright Scholar, a Presidential Management Fellow, and found ways to live and work across vast swaths of the world. Professionally, Jeremy helped remove unexploded ordnance from war-ravaged countries; stem the flow of the world's most dangerous weapons; and potentially reduce the likelihood of war between a couple of the world’s most powerful countries.
He now lives in Ireland with his wife, son and daughter where he continues to work on preventing future war, teaching improvisational acting, relationship, and communication while warning the world about the human cost of violence.
