Staff of TKE - Jeremiah Smith

INDIANAPOLIS - In the summer of 2010, a photographer named Brandon began taking photos of thousands of New Yorkers. His goal was to put a face to the image that people had of the different New York boroughs and its inhabitants. As if overnight, Humans of New York became a worldwide sensation.
We looked at the Humans of New York project and realized we faced a similar challenge. Many individuals outside of the Fraternity's immediate points of contact do not truly know who is answering the phone, posting on social media or handling various tasks at the organizational level. For that reason, we are excited to launch a new edition of "Staff of TKE." Every two weeks we will highlight a new individual on TKE's Professional Staff. Each post will include two photos and a candid conversation. Enjoy!

What did you think of the Avengers movie?
I haven't seen it.
Good start to the interview. Have you seen any good movies lately?
"Whiplash." It's about a jazz band drummer who is inspired to be the best in the world so he goes to a premier school to perfect his art. It's just a great movie with even better acting.
Is it you we have to thank for the Conclave.tke.org website?
It was a dual project that Alex Baker and I both worked on so I can't take all the credit – only the things that are right with it. We've received a lot of great feedback and are happy to see so much traffic on the site.
You've been playing a lot of basketball lately. Are you ready to take on Willie Trill Cauley-Stein?
I would give it a shot. Of course, anybody coached by John Calipari is going to be a good player, but I'm always up for a challenge.
Have you recovered from Kentucky not making it to the National Championship?
When it comes down to it, basketball is just a game. It was a tough loss, but I'm excited to see how they rebound next year. I know they have a great recruitment process to replace the outgoing players. I'm just waiting to get called up to the big leagues of Kentucky basketball.
Are you ready for Conclave 2015 in New Orleans?
This will be my first Conclave so I'm definitely ready. It will be great to experience all that the Fraternity's greatest event has to offer. And I've never been so New Orleans so that alone will be an experience in itself.
The next edition of "Staff of TKE" will appear Friday, June 5.
