Jeremy Poynter graduated from Brite Divinity School with his Master of Divinity in 2000. He liked Brite so much that he decided to stay and work as the Assistant to the Dean in Technology. Jeremy met his wife, Wendy, at Brite and they married in 1999. They have a bubbly one year old daughter, Julia, who can be seen, on occasion, at Brite running around Weatherly Hall as she learns to walk with her push cart.
