Prior to opening his own consulting practice he worked for the Ohio Education Association for over twenty years. He had more than thirteen years of experience as a manager for the OEA in a wide variety of positions, including Director of Research, Director of Training, and Director of UniServ.
As Director of Training he was responsible for employee training, with particular emphasis on new employee training and orientation. Also, he designed and coordinated major conferences, including a four-day conference for over eight hundred participants.

As Director of Research, Jerry managed a team of four professionals and was responsible for the collective bargaining and school district budget analysis programs for the OEA. These responsibilities required significant knowledge of computers and statistical processes.
Jerry gained international experience with an internship in Romania and trained groups of employees at a bearing factory in team building skills. This training required the use of an interpreter while crossing a cultural divide. In addition, he mediated contract negotiations between management and the union at the bearing factory.
