Background

As a professional metal fabricator, Jerry was always interested in strength and implemented several strongman movements into his training to help with Powerlifting. ^[3] In 2008 he took part in a local Strongman contest in Phoenix, Arizona and took second place, thus sparking his drive to continue and pursue Strongman.

Jerry also has raced as a sprint car driver.
