Jerry's automotive career spans more than thirty-two years. He spent the first fifteen of those years in various positions in retail dealerships. He has successfully performed in every front end position from a sales person, up through the management ranks including general manager and minority owner.

From there, he established JMA, Inc., which was one of the first companies to promote Mr. Jackie B. Cooper's seminars and lectures. For the next sixteen years, he and Jackie would set record after record in the automobile industry's speaking circuit. Jerry's efforts contributed greatly to the making of Jackie B. Cooper a "household name" among the car business fraternity.

In early 1996, his company decided it was time for a change and has been marketing Michael Hargrove's workshops and other products ever since.

Jerry is married, has one daughter, and is an avid reader.
