Jerry set a solid foundation in the 1990s to make South Carolina a significant telecommunications employer and today, he manages over 4,199 employees throughout South Carolina in 60 locations, one of which is a customer care center and region headquarters in Greenville county. Jerry was also instrumental in locating a world-class interactive learning facility In Greenville for enterprise customers to experience Verizon Wireless' newest data products and services in the company's first Wireless Data Technology Lab.
