Jerry accepted Christ at an early age at Central United Methodist Church in Rowesville, South Carolina where he served as a faithful lay leader, teaching Sunday School, and singing in the choir.

Jerry was educated in the public-school system of Orangeburg and graduated from Wilkinson High School.  Shortly after graduating from high school, he served in the United States Air Force.  After his honorable discharge from the Air Force, Jerry was employed at the local Hygrade plant for many years.  His thirst for knowledge and learning led him to acquire his CDL, life insurance, and DJ/broadcaster licenses. To acquire computer skills, he attended classes at the local technical college and high school.

Jerry enjoyed his many employment opportunities but still felt something was missing and channeled his knowledge and work experiences into entrepreneurial businesses such as Jays Record Store, Jeremiah Jamison Insurance Agency and Jays Chartering Bus Service.
