A native New Yorker, Gerry moved to San Francisco in 1991, founding Advice Company after a 20+ year career at Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (MetLife®).

His background as an attorney enabled him to overcome the immense insurance and banking regulatory obstacles that stood in the way, while his marketing skills were critical in overcoming the natural resistance to change within MetLife itself as well as at its biggest customers – General Motors and the Federal Government – and their employees' unions to accepting a program as radical as this, creating a win-win for everyone.
Gerry then was promoted to Chief Brokerage Executive and President and CEO of MetLife Marketing Corporation, where he built what was, in essence, a new, self-contained, semi-autonomous life insurance company with its own product development, underwriting, medical, marketing and sales organization. Within three years Gerry and his team of 200 profitably produced 15% of MetLife's total new individual life and annuity premium, compared with the 20,000+ MetLife employees that produced the remaining 85%.
An honors graduate of the College of William & Mary and Columbia Law School, Gerry completed Stanford's Graduate School of Business Executive Program as well as the coursework for a Masters at Stanford. A member of the bars of California and New York, he has chaired numerous committees of the American, California State, and NYC Bar Associations, and has spoken on legal and marketing topics throughout North America and in Europe and has testified as an expert before both the US Senate and the House of Representatives.
After serving as a first lieutenant with the Army Security Agency, Gerry began his career as a trial lawyer at the Securities and Exchange Commission, where he headed the Special Enforcement unit in New York and then spent several years as an associate with a top-rated New York law firm.
He has been President of the Stanford Business School Alumni Association's San Francisco Chapter, a member of the Dean's Advisory Board of the University of San Francisco's School of Business and Management, and a member of the Board of Directors and Advisory Council of Marin Theatre Company.
