Following a career in business, Jerry shaved his head and launched a new life's work as a professional photographer. He has since captured more than 70,000 stock photos of nature, animals, birds, insects, wildflowers, weeds, trees, shrubs, habitats, refuges, landscapes, lighthouses, outdoor sports and recreation, interesting people and attractions at travel and birding destinations in Africa, China, Costa Rica and North America.  

His work has appeared internationally in numerous magazines, books, catalogs, annual reports and various art and paper products.

Jerry is a charter member of the North American Nature Photography Association.
