As the Build/Give Program Manager for Wish for Wheels, Jerry loves connecting with people and helping teams grow closer while spinning wrenches, and making sure everyone is having a good time. The biggest payoff for Jerry and the volunteers is giving the bikes to the kids and seeing the joy and excitement in their faces as they run to pick out their new bikes. Jerry understands the independence and freedom that comes from having a bike and wants to help make sure as many 2nd graders as possible experience that incredible feeling.

A Colorado native, Jerry grew up spending most of his time riding bikes, racing, and running obstacle courses in his neighborhood. He biked everywhere, having plenty of gnarly crashes, getting right back on after each one.
