Jerry's Story

I left Midland and moved to Arcadia, CA and finnished high school there. I went to UCLA and got a BA in Computer Science. (Not worth much today). I joined the Air Force and served for just a year. I did work for the Office Of Security Investigations. I was hurt twice and was given a honorable discharge. I attended ASU and got an Associates degree in Accounting. I was working for a computer company at this time and with our expansion I worked 16 hours a day 7 days a week. I also married a girl that I met at camp when I was 14. We had a son and we were thrilled. He had problems with alergies in Phoenix because of the many of the flowering trees. We moved back to Michigan we had anonther son. I started in Computer Sales.in 1982, before they had Personal Computers. I did very well and started a Software company. I found that I could not sell computer unless there were programs that people needed. I worked nights and weekends creating custom programs. In 1985 I went on my own and worked full time selling custom software. In a short time...Expand for more
I found that many people in the thum of Michigan didn't have computer stores. I started three stores and we also had a computer manufacturing company where we custom built computers as they were ordered. We also got into building office furniture. In 1994 I started to have some problems with pain and mental fog. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and by January 1996 I had to quit working. They also took my drivers license because of the mental fog. We sold out and moved to Southwestern Utah. The climate here is great for me and I really like living in the desert. We will be married 33 years this October and our son are both married with 4 grandkids. I am in a wheelchair outside the house and continue to live with this desease. I am unable to do much more than type on my computers. I do testing for MIcrosoft and really enjoy that. I also talk to groups and individuals that has Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue. I try to help people come to grips with this horible desease. I enjoy time with my wife, my sons, and four beatiful grandchildren.
