JERRY HARMAN

PROGRAM DIRECTOR – MISSOURI

Jerry is a native of St. Joseph, Missouri, and a graduate of the University of Missouri – Columbia (M-I-Z!). In 2016, he and his wife, Lynne, moved from the St. Louis area to Kimberling City and moved into the house that Lynne’s grandparents built in 1974. Jerry’s love and passion for the outdoors and fishing brought him to H2Ozarks. In St. Louis, Jerry spent 12 years teaching youth fishing for the Missouri Department of Conservation. He was also a Boy Scout merit badge counselor for fishing and fly fishing. Since 2018, Jerry has been a fishing guide at Dogwood Canyon Nature Park. In his spare time, Jerry enjoys tying his own flies, kayak fishing, and fishing Lake Taneycomo and Crane Creek. Most recently, Jerry was chosen to be a Lead Mentor for The Mayfly Project, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that uses fly fishing as a catalyst to mentor children in foster care. Jerry will use his love for fishing as a motivator to help H2Ozarks keep our waterways clean.
