In this episode, we’re joined by Jeremiah Gardner—a creative force with a wild origin story. From swiping his mom’s nail polish to customize Hot Wheels as a kid, to studying music in college, Jeremiah’s journey took a sharp turn after one shop class lit a fire that never went out. Now an Industrial Arts teacher, he shares how that spark evolved into a full-blown obsession with building. Jeremiah also dives into the story behind his first Build-Off competition and how it inspired the creation of the High Class Trash Invitational—a celebration of craftsmanship, creativity, and community.

Stay up to date with the High Class Invitational on Facebook.
