Behind The Wheel
To succeed in the business world, one has to be willing to "take the wheel" in hands and steer through all sorts of quick turns until reaching the finish line successfully. Jerry's hobby of driving a racecar helped mold his business mindset.
Jerry's Humor
Jerry loves to tell a good joke or pun
Elvis in France?
Jokester Jerry has lived all over the world, growing up in France
Pun-ny man
Jerry's loved ones know that he loves to cheer others up with his wicked sense of humor. His home and personal library are filled with pictures he has kept--or others have given to him--to reflect his joy of living and sharing a laugh.
Love that water!
Jerry loves water, not just to drink, but also to remind others that water is a gift from God. Here's a look at the pond Jerry crafted to enjoy in his own yard.
Diving Duo
Jerry's wonderful wife and business partner, Gwen, also loves the water. They have their own pool, but that lacks Jerry's sense of adventure. Gwen loves to go snorkeling or diving with Jerry. That's one of their favorite vacation activities.
Facing His Fears
Jerry once sat on the pitch-black bottom of the floor of a body of water. He turned off his diving light and faced his fears as the rest of the group swam away. It was a time for Jerry to spend reflecting on the power of God and his ability to triumph over the world of the dark and Satanic.
Go fish!
This photo comes with a great story behind it. You'll have to hear it from Jerry first-hand when you call and make an order some time.
As told by Jerry Kaifetz himself:
“When I was 16, two professional parasailers came to our end-of-summer festival on the shores of Lake Champlain in Plattsburgh, New York. They had ONE MILE of ½ inch nylon line and were going to attempt a world altitude record. The problem became their weight. There was no wind and a 245-pound guy was not going to get up in the air. The director of the show, Frank Pabst, called me over and said, “It’s your baby.” I weighed 135 pounds. I was airborne on my third try and shot skyward like a rocket! The next thing I knew, the boat–the Sea Witch–was but a speck at the end of a mile of line and my heart was nearly beating out of my chest! The big guys were not happy.”
An Expert With Wood
Jerry once ran a sawmill in Pennsylvania! He is an expert with wood.

Jerry's Christian faith is constantly displayed in the Biblical verse creations he makes.
Lover of God's Woods
Jerry can cut details with his ancient scroll saw that are downright pencil lead-thin!
