TRAITS: Early fascination with cameras, the limelight, Life on stage, and the world of fashion. Started off in front of the camera as a model, dancer and actor.

CLAIM TO FAME: Heck, pick one! Jerry appeared as a guest photographer on America’s Next Top Model on three separate occasions. Also worked with a list of great folks such as MTV, TV Guide, Paula Abdul, Mike Tyson, Jerry Seinfeld, B.B. King, to name a few. Also on the list, most of the main Las Vegas Hotel and Casinos, numerous ad agencies and several local and national publications. In short, a whole lot of satisfied clients. Yes! They were too satisfied!
