Jerry grew up in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. Since a young child Jerry grew up working outdoors with his father, he taught him a lot of life lessons including having a hard work ethic. Jerry began working at a local golf course mowing grass and performed miscellaneous landscape tasks, that is where his love for the green industry began.
Jerry attended Rutgers University in New Jersey for Professional Turfgrass Management where he learned a lot of industry knowledge from plant and turfgrass science to professionalism and leadership. During a summer internship at Baltusrol Golf Club in New Jersey, he was promoted to Fertilizer and Pesticide Specialist and had a huge role in the preparation for the 2016 PGA Championship. With his experience in the golf course industry, attention to details and love for the outdoors this journey has led him to Vermont and ultimately di Stefano Landscaping.
