Kerry grew up in the Columbus and Detroit area with his family.

Kerry was always drawn to the restaurant industry through his professional career. He had a passion for mentoring people and helping them to succeed in work and in life. Kerry never met a stranger and was always the life of the party. He had the ability to walk up to anyone and start a conversation that would last for hours. What he loved most was to be around his family and he never missed an opportunity to spend time with the ones he loved. He always said "Family Comes First" and "Take care of the ones you love".
