Jerry Minchey is the author of several books. He has a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, an MBA from USC, and an OPM degree from Harvard Business School. He worked for NASA on the Apollo moon mission and worked for many years as a computer design engineer. He has owned several engineering and marketing businesses. Now semi-retired, he is the founder and editor of two Internet subscription websites: MarketingYourRestaurant.com and SearchEngineU.com. As an engineer and a business major, he looks at problems from both a logical standpoint as well as an economic and financial standpoint. That’s the approach he takes when analyzing the pros and cons of moving into a 55+ community. He also draws from his first hand experience of living in 55+ parks. His parents owned and lived in 55+ parks for 15 years, buying and selling homes along the way. With numerous uncles, aunts, cousins and friends retiring and moving into 55+ parks over the years, he had a world of knowledge and experience to draw on when he set out to research and report on the advantages of moving into a 55+ park. He presently lives full-time in his motorhome and travels between the North Carolina mountains in the summers and the Florida beaches in the winters-plus several side trips throughout the year. He says, ＂Home is wherever I park it.＂
