Jerry spent his early years in Portland, Fort Wayne, and Muncie. A 1962 graduate of Culver Military Academy, he attended Michigan State University, then transferred to Western New Mexico where he graduated in 1968. He immediately was inducted into the U.S. Army where he served one tour in Vietnam as an infantry platoon leader, and later resigned his commission as Captain, to begin working at Marsh Supermarkets. He was in the Army National Guard from 1982-1987.

Having worked for Marsh Supermarkets since age 14, Jerry worked weekends and summers while in school. After the Army, he held many positions with the company, District Manager the longest, but store manager as his favorite, at 21st and Post Road in Indianapolis, Indiana from 1973-1974.
