Jerry has his hands in a remarkable number of endeavors that he calls “gathering places.” A partner in Neumos, Moe Bar, the Pike Street Fish Fry, Rendezvous and JewelBox Theater, Spitfire, and Sole Repair Shop, he uses the knowledge gained from those experiences to give back to the community through work with nonprofits and work creating policy aimed at facilitating havens for arts and culture to flourish.
