I worked with Jerry at Northern Illinois Conference, He was the it manager there and was very friendly and would keep on top of the projects he would have us do. He always had the big picture in mind and was able to get the job one onsite and in budget!

Jerry is one of the hardest working professionals I know. I worked with Jerry for several years through the UMC Northern Illinois Annual Conference Office. Jerry was always helpful, prompt, and provided A+ service. Highly recommended Jerry!
