is a musician and composer based in Portland, Oregon. In both performing and composing, he strives to explore musical terrain in a way which reflects daily life and the complex emotions using elements from genres such as rock, folk, R&B, jazz, and avant-garde.

Since 2018, Jerry has performed and recorded professionally as bassist in a variety of settings from bars, clubs, casinos, and weddings to regional festivals in both supporting and headlining bands. His gigging ventures span from California to Washington and, on one occasion, Atlanta, Georgia for the Jazz Education Network Conference (as a student musician at Portland State University).

Currently Jerry is pursuing his bachelor’s degree in Composition at Portland State University, studying under Renee Favand-See. His portfolio includes pieces for piano duo and trio, guitar duo and trio (the latter featuring cello and violin), art songs, percussion, and woodwinds.
