with increasing experience with the Electrical Code, dates back to the early 1970’s.

Jerry was one of the principle participants in assisting the Board of Building Standards in the
development of the State Electrical Safety Inspector certification program and its efforts to
obtain legislative approval of HB991 in 1970.

Jerry was one of the pioneers in developing OBBS approved electrical refresher training
courses for the re-certification of State Certified Electrical Inspectors. His active involvement in
the development and teaching of electrical courses, as an approved instructor by the BBS
dates back to 1971.

Jerry has been actively involved in the promulgation enforcement, and teaching of the National
Electrical Code for more than forty years.. He has actively participated, and continues to
participate as a member of the International Association of Electrical Inspectors. Jerry served
as Chairman for two terms for the Ohio Chapter from 1979 and 1980, he served as Chairman
for the Western Reserve Division in 1976 and he served as Secretary / Treasurer of the
Western Reserve Division from 1977 to 1990. His dedication of service and commitment to
education, training and electrical safety was recognized by the Western Reserve Division, with
