I attended Central State University in Ohio, where I received my Bachelor in Music degree. I later earned a Masters in Music for classical bass from the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. After graduation, I moved to New York City, where I worked as a professional bassist and studied with the late David Walters, distinguished professor of double bass at both the Juilliard and Manhattan schools of music.


During the last 25+ years, Gerald has worked as an IT Project Management consultant and earned the PfMP, PMP, MCSE, MCTS, CQIA, COBIT Foundation, and ITIL foundation certifications increasing productivity in the workplace for his clients. He also acquired certifications in Project Management and Business Intelligence from the University of California, Berkeley, Theory of Constraints Portfolio Management Technical Expert from the Goldratt Institute, Hoshin Kanri Strategic Planning, Executive Leadership Certification from Cornell University, The Wharton School: Entrepreneurship Acceleration Program and a Deep Learning Specialization Certification.


In my leisure time, I love to play golf and travel internationally.
