MEET JERMAINE

MEET THE MAN BEFORE YOU MEET THE WORK

I'm Jermaine Peguese. A problem-solving engineer from Detroit. President & CEO of Pathworth. Special Projects Manager at the NAACP Detroit Branch. Every title on this site runs through one man, and this is the room where you meet him first. Detroit raised me. Construction taught me the details. My mother taught me who to be. I put people in position to win, and here I finally step out from the back and put my own name on the work.

Threat instead of scared. Strategy instead of hurt. The vocabulary I built to keep from feeling.
