A native of Chicago who now lives in Northern New York, Jerry Moore has been a journalist for much longer than he cares to remember. If he had an Apple on his desk when he began his career, it was one he could eat — while banging out his assigned stories on a typewriter! He now serves as a freelance writer. He enjoys reading, writing, cooking, viewing interesting films and napping — lots of napping. Despite a lack of evidence (except for a common hairline), Jerry has persuaded himself that he's the love child of actors Jeffrey Tambor and Jason Alexander.
