Jerry’s first life was a fifty-year career as a professional geologist in academia and industry. From this earlier life, Jerry includes many out door and travel experiences in his writing of stories and poetry.  He gives his readers a world-wide view from locations in the United States and Alaska and ten foreign countries. Jerry lives in the small town of Buda, Texas, where he writes and manages Rockon Publishing. He often visits Port O’Connor on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, where he is a part time sport-fisherman.
