UNJ Staff Writer

Jerry grew up in rural Kansas where his parents not so much mentored, but allowed, he and his brother to trap, hunt, fish and spend lots of time roaming the fields and woods. In 1987 he joined the U.S. Navy.

While on shore duty in 1993 a Wisconsin acquaintance introduced him to bowhunting. Later that year he harvested his first whitetail and was bitten (infected) by the bowhunting bug. Over the course of the next fourteen years Uncle Sam moved him frequently, but he fit in bowhunting adventures along the way.

In 2007 Jerry retired from active duty Navy service and took up his bowhunting pursuits with fervor. Today he resides in southeastern Wisconsin working as a civilian sourcing manager for the Department of the Navy. Much of his outdoors time is spent on property available to the public and he considers himself a Public Land Warrior. He enjoys spending quality time with his dog Lexus, traveling with his wife, staying fit, and bowhunting.
