Burros, horses, and sports were the major pastime during his childhood. Baseball was Jerry's favorite sport, which he went on to play in college. After having lived in several different places during his college and early professional years, Jerry settled in Fort Collins, CO in 1996 where he currently resides with his wife Marla. In his free time, Jerry enjoys the mountains, cruises, sightseeing, and spending time with family. He enjoys and supports Colorado State University athletics, while maintaining his allegiance to Husker football.
