Jerry's Story
Life
College 65-69 (CA and MO), Army 70-72, 72 to 80 I worked in the engineering and environmental consulting industry and completed an M.S. and Ph.D. in geological engineering in MO. Between 80 and 86 I was on the civil and geological engineering faculty at Washington State University and have been at the Colorado School of Mines since Aug. 86. I teach and conduct research on geological hazards and specialize in landslide issues. I also have a small consulting business. A lot of my research and consulting is based in the mountains of CO, UT, CA, OR, and WA. Pa...Expand for more
tty and I married in 1968, and we have two sons. Scott was born in 1971, has two daughters Sarah and Rachel, and works as a civil engineer in Reno. Brett was born in 1981, has a son, Beckett, and is a civil engineer in Denver.
I love the outdoor emphasis of my profession. We also love life in Colorado with the skiing, mountain biking, hiking, running, fishing, golf, etc. I retired from the university in June 2014 and will continue to teach a few courses for the next few years and consult part time. I want to work less and play with my grand kids more.
