Get to know Gerry a little better below!

1. A taboo topic I love talking about is: All too often, people of a certain age are stereotyped. I like to break age biases and push the envelope HARD so we are seen as individuals and not a number associated with age.

2. I think a celebrity couple that is the definition of #relationshipgoals is: I have no idea!!! I do not have time in my life to follow someone else’s love life!! That requires social media savvy I don’t have and a priority I don’t need.

3. My guilty pleasure is: Dairy Queen Blizzards!!! When I can avoid them I do, but once I get started, I will have them daily for a week!!! Yes, I always order the LARGE.

4. The best relationship advice I ever received was: Don’t look for the partner you can live with; look for the partner you can’t live without. That advice came from Trista Sutter and helped me immensely to make decisions on the show.

5. My zodiac sign is ___________ and my most [insert zodiac sign] trait would be: My zodiac sign is Leo and my most Leo trait would be confidence. Chivalry and empathy are close behind.

6. My biggest pet peeve is: People who drive UNDER the speed limit, especially in the passing lane. Geez!!

7. My last meal on earth would be: Fettuccini Alfredo with salmon. Add on some crusty bread and olive oil and I would go out happy.

8.  The song that always makes me want to dance is: This is an easy one — Etta James singing “At Last.” That’s the song I want to dance to in the kitchen making dinner with my special someone.

9. My hidden talent is: It’s not much of a talent, but I juggle. Once upon a time I could also ride a unicycle, but that’s a distant memory.

10. My current phone screen saver is: My two daughters and I in Iowa Hawkeye attire at a football game in [East] Lansing, Michigan, about five years ago. My daughters saved my soul after my wife passed away and this was one of those times when they made me forget everything and just enjoy the moment.

11. The person that inspires me the most is: Definitely my dad. At 92 he still thinks the world is his oyster. He has several serious medical problems, but never gives up his happy and positive attitude. He has been such a role model.

12. The most famous person who I’d love to meet is: Volodymyr Zelenskyy. What an effective leader and inspirational figure. From where does he draw all his strength???

13. The last thing I Googled is: I googled the meaning of “Grandzaddy”s haha!

14. My favorite part of being on “The Golden Bachelor” was: The first night!!! My kids kept asking me how I would stay awake past 10 p.m. At 7:30 a.m. the next morning, I had to be pulled away from the Mansion. Meeting all 22 of the women as they got out of the limos was the best time of my Bachelor life.

15. Being on “The Golden Bachelor” taught me: Enjoy every moment of life. Drink in every nuance present because it is all important. And, to be patient.

16. My celebrity crush is: Penelope Cruz!

17. If you go on “The Golden Bachelor,” don’t forget to pack: The most important thing to pack for the Golden Bachelor is an open heart and all the HOPE you can fit in the suitcase.

18. Something I still have from my time on “The Golden Bachelor” is: A pair of hiking boots I wore in the high country of Costa Rica. I wore them hiking to the location of the first time I rappelled.

19. When Bachelor Nation fans approach me in person and/or online, the first question they ask is:
Can I take a picture with you?” I absolutely love that!!! It’s a small way of sharing the joy and excitement of the show with others!!!
