He began his career in economic development in 1994 as an AmeriCorps volunteer in Flagstaff, Arizona. During his combined 17 years in the field, Jerry has served as CEO/President in Minot, North Dakota and Marshall County in North Central Indiana. He's also served in Great Falls, Montana and in a nineteen-county region of Mississippi.

winning teams to fulfill economic development objectives.
Jerry's innovative work has created thousands of good jobs and improved the quality of life everywhere he's been.
