Jeremy who was born with hemophilia - a genetic disorder that impairs the body’s ability to make blood clots - wasn’t able to play the sport himself in his younger years. The hemophilia led to a number of injuries and fused knee joints; at eight, he was in a wheelchair, which he would stay in for the next couple of years, watching the sport from the sidelines. This did not stop him from pursuing his dreams to be like other students. Jeremy Hall attended St. Paul Regional High School from 2007 - 2009. While in high school he participated in intramurals and graduated as the class valedictorian.
After high school he attended the University of Alberta and graduated with a Bachelor of Science Mechanical Engineering Degree. During this time he was introduced to both sledge hockey and rowing. Jeremy was on the Team Alberta Sledge hockey team that won the 2017 National Championship. After playing Sledge hockey he began to pursue PARA Rowing. He was able to balance his school work with his athletics and excelled with both. He has completed his master’s work with a Master’s of Science in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Alberta. He completed this schooling while living in Victoria, British Columbia as he trained at the National Rowing facility.
