He grew up in a construction family that worked on many of the largest hydroelectric projects in America, which include the St Lawrence Seaway Project in New York State to the Glenn Canyon Dam in Arizona. So, it was only natural for Jerry to follow in his family’s footsteps.
Jerry worked heavy construction from the age of 17 to the age of 39, when he made a career change into Law Enforcement. Jerry eventually became the lead homicide detective in a county in Washington State where he maintained a high clearance rate in his death investigations. This resulted in him writing the book, “Where Murderers Walk Free.” One of his major investigations became a novel, “In the Still of the Night”, for the late Ann Rule, one of America’s most prolific true crime writers.
Jerry now resides with his wife Susan, their big Redbone hound Bob, and their cat Maggie on a small tree farm near Atlanta, Texas. When he is not in the woods hunting and mending fence, he enjoys yard work and leather crafting. He has been a Christian for 47 years and loves deep studies of the Bible.view less
