The Geismar site spans more than 2,600 acres and includes 32 production units along with hundreds of supporting facilities serving more than 3,000 employees and contractors.

Jeremy coordinates an average of 2,500 facility maintenance requests each year across multiple crafts, working closely with contractor partners to ensure safe, efficient, and reliable site operations.
Jeremy is in his third year as a member of IFMA Baton Rouge and previously spent a year with the New Orleans chapter. After 14 years in facility maintenance, he sought out IFMA to connect with peers, learn best practices, and build a strong professional community. One of his favorite IFMA experiences was attending the 2024 World Workplace Expo in San Antonio, where he gained valuable insights and made meaningful industry connections.
Outside of work, Jeremy enjoys road cycling along River Road, saltwater fishing, and growing his coin collection.
