History
Jerry D., was fortunate to have an artistic father who took him to museums and art galleries and taught him to appreciate many different art forms. His father hoped he would pursue something in the arts. Instead, like most children, he followed his own path. Jerry D. studied Kung Fu SanSoo, and opened his first martial arts studio at age 19. By age 30, he was awarded the degree of master, and he continues teaching today. Jerry D. is also a licensed cosmetologist, who teaches corrective hair and make-up techniques and how to develop a total look. In 1973, he won a scholarship to attend cosmetology school, and his career took another turn. As a hobby, he used his photography skills to capture before and after pictures of his make-overs. Then shot a few weddings for friends, decided he liked photography, and opened his first studio in 1993.
