My Story

Jerry is one of the founding members of CCPA with over 20 years of experience in the industry. He proudly served his country in the U.S. ARMY from 1995 to 2007 and helped establish Camp Warhorse in Baqubah, Iraq in 2003/04. Upon his return to the Mississippi Gulf Coast his step father, who was also in the industry, began teaching Jerry what would be his new career path. In 2005, the Mississippi Gulf Coast was struck with Hurricane Katrina and Jerry was working his first major event. He went on and eventually worked for countless insurance carriers from State Farm, Liberty Mutual, Universal and All State to name a few. He learned their process and was eventually introduced to their “carrier guidelines” that directly conflict with the policy. After 15 years or so of traveling the country as an independent adjuster working for the carriers, Jerry decided he was better suited to work as a Public Adjuster for the people. This decision was made after one of the insurance carriers executives told him that he writes his estimates like a Public Adjuster. This was obviously not meant as a compliment coming from the carrier but it made a lasting impact in his life. Since then, he, along with his brother and fantastic team, has built an outstanding firm and has helped thousands of clients get what they are justly owed from their insurance company. Jerry is the Principal adjuster for the firm and will be there to discuss any and all questions you may have about policy, the process, upcoming decisions, recommended paths moving forward and payments. Jerry will likely be the first person you speak with when you are introduced to our firm and the last person you speak with once your claim is settled.
