Born in Albuquerque, Jerry McNerney and his family moved to Pleasanton in 1990 for a job with US Windpower (Kenetech). In 1994 Jerry started working as an energy consultant for PG&E, FloWind, The Electric Power Research Institute, and other utility companies. He is now the CEO of a start-up company that will manufacture wind turbines and is in the process of raising venture capital for the business.
