After Jerry graduated from North High School in 1966, he went on to serve in the United States Army in Vietnam. Later on, he attended Lakeland Community College, where he earned his Associate Degree in Business.

Jerry worked as a quality control inspector for many years and most recently retired from Alloy Bellows in 2015.
