He has over 40 years experience in broadcasting and was well known among San Antonio radio listeners as "Fred Zeppelin" as both an airborne traffic reporter and afternoon and morning host on the classic rock station KZEP for 11 years.
Jerry spent his younger days playing drums with the country band "Mason Dixon" and has continued to play in his spare time in several local San Antonio funk, blues, rock and country bands.
