A "local boy" through and through, Jerry is a graduate of McAllen High School, where he was the "class clown" and a member of the Future Farmers of America. Now married with one child and a Chihuahua, Jerry and his family love the outdoors and look forward to their vacations in the tropical climes of Mexico.

Married with three children and a Shitzu named "Marble", Robert has taken the kids on a Disney cruise, and they've traveled the world as well.
