Outside Work
Jerry has surprised us all, as well as himself, by taking up distance running and being surprisingly good at it! When he isn’t working, or pounding the tarmac, Jerry enjoys playing guitar with his band. While he has long ago abandoned dreams of achieving rock god status he is now watching his talented children take up the musical baton.
