I Like Me Now

<p>My name is Jerry Gietka. I have had different careers. Anything from driving a truck to writing law to teaching at the University. What can I say I get bored quickly. Currently I am a writer.</p><p>I had a career managing in the Transportation industry. I finally got tired of being shot at so I went to work for the State of MD and the feds.

Then I redesigned the course for on-line delivery in their distance learning program.</p><p>I have been on stage film radio and television as an actor and director. I won a Telly award for a cable TV talk show designed for BAL CITY public access.</p><p>All together I have been in about 100 shows probably over 1000 performances.</p><p>I have a broad and unique perspective having had experience in the private and public sectors as well as academia. I can usually speak knowledgably on most subjects using the appropriate nomenclature for each subject matter</p><p>(technical computers legal).

I thought my life had been interesting to that point. Well let me tell you ...</p>
