Jerry and Carol were married in 1957 and in 1961 the family moved to Denver, Colorado. Jerry learned the trade of Tool and Die Maker and in 1968 started Colorado Tool and Stamping Company. Jerry sold Colorado Tool and Die and started Frontier Metal Stamping in 1984. He was joined by his sons Mike and Steve and eventually his grandson Austin.
