I'm Jerry Werner, and I'd like to share a bit about myself. I'm currently enjoying retirement, splitting my time between two vibrant cities, Manhattan and Montreal. My journey to this point has been quite an adventurous one, filled with diverse experiences. Following my exciting United States Navy career, I transitioned into the business world, specifically the energy conservation industry. I found my niche and quickly became an executive in this field, where I could apply my problem-solving skills and leadership abilities in a new context - reduce our dependence on foreign oil. I then transitioned to my own management consulting firm. It's been a remarkable journey, and I look forward to spending time with my growing grandchildren and new adventures traveling off the beaten path, in this next phase of life.
