Jerry was the Executive Producer and Director for the Columbia Pictures owned
"Wheeling Jamboree"
from 1977-1982. His involvement during
those years as one of the largest concert promoters in the US, kept him in close contact with all of the
National Artists, Record
Labels, Talent Agencies
and Management Companies representing the National Acts of the world
including William Morris, MCA, RCA, ICM, and United Artists.
His involvement with Jamboree in the Hills with Glen Reeves , became the blue-print for today's
country music festivals. He was a member of The Nashville Talent Buyers
Association. He also produced concerts for Detroit Diesel
Allison, a Division of General Motors, and a special half-time show at
the legendary Cotton Bowl.

He was nominated for a position on the Board of
Directors for the CMA. He produced a TV Special for Showtime along with a TV Special on Faron Young for K-Tel. He Produced a
"Country Concert Weekend" at Sea-World featuring Alabama and
others.

He managed 5 divisions and served as liaison for over 75 signed music acts.
He received awards including one
from the
President of the United States for "Outstanding Contributions to
Country Music". In 1982, he accepted a position with SIT String
Company as General Manager. He was also responsible
for over-seeing the marketing, advertising, and artist relations departments until
1989. |

In 1989, Jerry made a decision to leave the music business entirely in
order to become a more active part, along with his wife Kathie, in the raising
of their 2 daughters. In 2002, he returned to the music business
full time both as a musician and producer for recording sessions and as
an independent consultant for musical artists and other related
organizations.
Many of
the consulting services Jerry is engaged in does not permit him to legally
discuss the details and agreements with the
various company's. However we can tell you that he is President of
a steel guitar company that manufactures and sells his personal brand of
steel guitars.
He is contracted to be the Executive Producer for a television pilot show
surrounding country music and it's history. He has worked as a
consultant for musical instrument manufactures, concert promoters,
and corporate accounts.
Jerry
acknowledges that his visibility since his return may seem brief based on what he's able to talk
about in regard to the business side, but let us assure you that
there's plenty going and much more to come for him.
