A civil engineer by training and profession, he lives with his wife, Nina, by the beach in San Diego, California. Jerry currently lectures at John Paul the Great Catholic University, where he is a professor of business, and consults at Kleinfelder, where he is a senior principal engineer. His wife and he are currently writing “Wine Flights”, a book about wineries that are located near airports. His daughter, Julia, is a graduate creative writing student at Brooklyn College in New York.
When not flying, Jerry surfs, back-packs, and writes. Along with long-time friend Andy Keech, he is currently building a four-passenger RV-10, and they plan to attempt a few more records.
