Jerry Vitale joined Southern Living At HOME in 2001 as National Director of Sales. He has worked in the direct selling industry since 1995, when he and his wife, Courtney, became consultants for a direct selling company. In 1998, he was awarded that company's highest honor, the "Spirit of Service Award." Their success led them to the corporate side, where Jerry built a multimillion-dollar organization and became one of five field trainers, all before the age of 28. He later served that company as Director of Sales. As Vice President of Sales for Southern Living At HOME, Jerry is responsible for all sales and marketing activities. He holds a bachelor of science degree in psychology with a minor in biology from the University of Pittsburgh and did master's work in clinical psychology at LaSalle University in Philadelphia. When he's not in the office in Birmingham or meeting with Consultants across the country, Jerry enjoys relaxing at his family retreat in Pennsylvania and making music in his home studio.
