Jerry Bowden
Jerry B. Bowden is an author, speaker, singer, and tech founder who overcame poverty, abuse, and addiction, to experience his days of glory as a professional singer, sharing the stage with musical greats like the Temptations and B.B. King. Born in Brooklyn, Jerry joined the U.S Army in 1966, at age 17, to escape poverty, violence, and despair. After surviving combat in Vietnam, Mr. Bowden was the first in his family to achieve higher education and graduated with a master’s degree from the University of Colorado. He went on to become one of the few black professional municipal planners in the West Coast. Losing his vision hasn’t slowed Jerry down in his retirement years. He is currently the President of Revealio - Software and Media Solutions, located in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has also co-founded the Tech With Heart Foundation, which focuses on providing a safe and supportive learning environment for disadvantaged students and entrepreneurs.
