JERRY WRIGHT

Jerry Wright Sr. is a man of many chapters. A proud resident of Lakeland, Florida, Jerry shares his life with his wife, building a legacy rooted in service and community. Before turning his hand to writing, he dedicated years to his country as a mmber of the United States Army for over 20 years, followed by a successful career as a restaurant owner, where he mastered the art of hospitality and local entrepreneurship.

Now retired, Jerry fills his days with the things that bring him the most joy. He is an avid traveler and a passionate deep-sea fisherman, always seeking the next big catch on the open water. When he isn't at the bowling alley or enjoying a great movie, he can be found spending cherished quality time with his grandchildren.

His diverse life experiences-from the discipline of the military to the vibrant energy of the kitchen-infuse his storytelling with a unique and authentic perspective.
