Jeremy Alexander (b. 1995) grew up in Redlands, California and began his undergraduate studies at the University of California, Riverside (UCR) in 2013. He became an officer with Chess Club at UCR in 2016 and served as president from 2017-2018. During his tenure as president of Chess Club at UCR, Jeremy incorporated Chess Club at UCR as a non-profit and began facilitating quarterly chess tournaments. He also played a pivotal role in the development of the California Intercollegiate Chess League (CICL), where he curated databases, maintained websites, and directed tournaments for players statewide, laying the groundwork for the Collegiate Chess League (CCL). For his contributions to the Chess Club at UCR, Jeremy was named a finalist for President of the Year by the Office of Student Life. During this time, he also presided over the Society of Physics Students at UCR (2016-2017), founded Philosophy Club at UCR (2017), and worked as an instructional laboratory technician for the UCR Physics & Astronomy Department.

Since 2018, Jeremy has advised the Chess Club at UCR, collaborating with dozens of officers to organize hundreds of public events, securing over $10,000 in grant funding, and hosting dozens of tournaments for over 300 participants. Through his work, he has developed many educational resources aimed at making chess more accessible to diverse audiences. His protégés include over half a dozen chess instructors, the founder of the Los Angeles Chess Social, and a board member of the Southern California Chess Federation (SCCF). In 2025, he was named "Adviser of the Year" by the Office of Student Life in its annual Student Organization Awards ceremony.

Jeremy currently resides in Los Angeles and works as a chess educator for serval organizations — including the South Pasadena Educational Foundation (SPEF), Masterprep Academy (Pasadena, CA), Masterpiece Chess Academy, and the Day & Knight Chess Club. He is also an active contributor to the Los Angeles Chess Social, the Highland Park Chess Club, the Rookie Chess League, the Pisa Chess Club, and the Southern California Chess Federation. In his spare time, he enjoys reading about counterculture studies while listening to rock music.
