Jerry attended Wright Junior High School & Memorial High School in Tulsa. His family moved to Houston for his last year in high school. Jerry enrolled at the University of Houston night classes and worked at an antique auto parts store during the day. During his school days he developed a love of antique cars and later acquired a substantial collection of 34 Fords.
In December, 1968 Jerry met his wife of 52 years, Debbie. Six months later they were married on June 14, 1969 at St. Michael’s church in Houston. After graduating in 1971, with a degree in economics & statistics he accepted a position in construction management with a Houston homebuilder.

In 1993 Jerry became an independent concrete contractor. Several years after his sons graduated from Texas Tech and Texas A&M , James & Justin took over the successful operation of the company.
