Jerry's passion for the guitar began at age 8. At age 12, he was playing for 'folk' Masses, and later played in his high school jazz band. He has been a member of numerous bands and has played professionally for more than 30 years.

 

His work and music education have trained him to play many genres of music, including jazz, pop, rock, and country.

 

Now, he has come full circle and returned to playing worship music at St. John Vianney in Shelby Twp. and St. Andrew in Rochester.

​

Jerry enjoys watching students grow in their knowledge and love of learning music, which he knows, can bring a lifetime of joy.
