Born in Shawnee, Kansas, Jerrme has had an active role in professional production since the age of 17. His family originally moved to the Grand Strand from Branson, Missouri in 1989, when his father Joe accepted his first position with Gilmore Entertainment. Part of the Carolina Opry family early on, Jerrme grew up a theater kid, fueling his passion for all things tech. Jerrme says he is, "most thankful to work in a theater that he loves where he can share his passion with so many others that he admires." He enjoys spending his off time with his wife Angela and their daughter Ellie.
