JERRY'S BIOGRAPHY

Jerry has always been an athletic man and grew up in a very active family. As a teenager, he took up boxing and later would win the Golden Glove Boxing Championship. He has passed his athletic genes down to his children. His son, Mark, is an Olympic swimmer. Jerry wants to lose the weight so he can continue living his active life fully and be able to complete a 5,000 mile cross country bike ride with his wife of over 40 years, Lynn. He also wants to no longer be the "fastest fat guy on the tennis court" when he plays with friends.
