The very first time Jerry discovered he had a love for singing was at a very young age in grade school. "I can remember singing in music class when I was in the 2nd grade. One day I began singing a whole different set of notes than what the other kids were singing. The music teacher could not figure out who it was and I was not about to volunteer that it was me for fear of getting into trouble. After going through the process of elimination she figured out that it was me. She kindly let me know that what I was doing was harmonizing. From then on I have always had a natural ear to sing all parts of harmony."
The first time Jerry ever played music in church was at the age of 10. He has always been very musically inclined. A cousin of his, who was well known in the local music circuit, recognized his musical ability and soon had Jerry playing the drums for a little Spanish church band. Jerry was never given the chance to sing however, until a few years later at the age of 13 when a Christian friend encountered him while riding his bicycle along the road and invited Jerry to his church. Once given the opportunity to sing, Jerry was ministering in a trio at church.
Not long after this Jerry began traveling with a Spanish evangelistic quartet spreading the gospel in churches all over the Midwest. "It was a lot of fun. My parents were very trusting with the evangelist who was a family friend for years. I played drums and sang harmony and lead. It was a great way to experience various types of churches and become more versatile." Jerry would often share his testimony while on the road and was used mightily to help lead others to Christ at a very young age.
