About Me

Hi, my name is Jerry Jack Anderson III. The army gave me 'Jack' and I love it so call me Jack. For those of you that dont know me, I am a very active individual who enjoys physical fitness, loves writing, coaches youth soccer, serves in the Alabama Air National Guard, and attends college. Four years of my career have been spent in the United States Military. English is my native language and while in the military I learned how to speak Korean at The Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California. I have forgotten more than I remember so test me if you want... I am sure it will be entertaining. Other high-lights of my career include, flipping burgers, working as a deck hand on fishing boats, performing Y2K upgrades, owning my own business and building networks for national telecommunication companies. Currently, I am a mild mannered real estate appraiser. I just finished my campaign for city councilman and the only question now is... what will I do today?

Coach relieved at GCHS... sad.

When I coach a soccer team I usually give a speech to the parents that goes a little like this. "I am the coach.  There is only one coach.  You have given your kids to me for an hour or two ...
