EXPERIENCE
Jerry began his blogging career writing about his own family’s road trips and the many things he learned through them. This eventually opened up a door to write about all things automotive, and that’s what he’s done professionally since 2015. His car-blogging journey has taken him all over the world to experience everything from Italian supercars to seaplanes and even a highly-modified sports car driven by quadriplegic via head movements.
His work has appeared on Truck Trend Magazine, the official websites of the Chicago and LA Auto Shows, and he’s a regular guest of the DriveChicago radio talk show.
EDUCATION

Fun Fact
