Jerry's Story
Life
I attanded SIUE right after High School, and graduated in 1978 with a BS in Engineering (Structural). I immediately moved to Dallas and worked there, getting my PE license in 1983. I got married to a long, tall Texas gal (Barbara) in late 1985 and was immediately transferred to Albuquerque (I musta taken a wrong toin at Albuquerque). I got an MBA at Webster University in ABQ in 1994, and I built a nice house there (actually built it!) in 1993.

own kid, but adopted in 1994, just shy of my 40th birthday. I'll be 56 when he's out there wrecking the car! We moved back to the Dallas area (didn't want to leave our house) in 2002, and we've settled in here. I keep toying with the idea of starting my own company, but we'll just have to see about that.
