Alas – the Witness Protection Program has failed again as it appears that you have found me. Since my cover is up, let me tell you a little about myself.

I’m a born/raised Minnesotan with a silly accent like that which you heard in the movie Fargo. There is lots of Scandinavian blood running through my veins and, try as I might, I continue to exhibit all of the classic, stoic characteristics of this heritage.

Why yes, I am Jeremy Jenum

I come from a small, rural town called Glenwood and was lucky enough to grow up on the shores of one of the most beautiful lakes in Minnesota.

With a little courage in me, I came to the big, scary city of Minneapolis and attended the University of Minnesota Institute of Technology program from 1990 to 1994 – including some later Masters-related work in the following years. With my Mechanical Engineering degree, I learned my chops at TSI Incorporated in St. Paul and later moved to some exciting times in the semiconductor industry with August Technology (now owned by Rudolph Technology).

I am currently an Engineering Manager at American Medical Systems – focused on systems and processes that we use to develop new medical device technology. Note – follow the link to the company’s website with caution, as our product could be considered NSFW by many standards.

I live in the typical suburban standards found in Plymouth, MN with my teenage daughter. As you can likely tell from this blog – I enjoy a good bicycle ride. It gives me something regular to report, so I like to describe my rides in this blog. Plus, I find it a little motivating to know that I am marking my progress via a public forum. If the blog seems too focused on bike rides, I can only apologize and promise to expand the content as it comes to me.
