Jerry Hobbs, President of Eye Conz Art LLC, was born and raised in California. Jerry graduated summa cum laude from California Baptist University with majors in Administration and Behavioral Science. Shortly after graduating from college, Jerry began a successful career in the window, door and millwork business. Jerry’s primary area of expertise was customer service, sales and marketing. After a 20 year career of increasingly responsible positions, Jerry became President of Windowmaster Products, a successful $40 million dollar manufacturer of aluminum and vinyl windows and doors based in San Diego, California. Jerry left Windowmaster Products in 2001 to pursue his passion for the arts and for non profit management.

Although not a fine artist, Jerry appreciates and collects fine art. When not visiting galleries and museums with his business partner, Gordon, Jerry’s other passion is working with charitable (nonprofit) groups. Specifically, Jerry is committed to improving the lives of children and youth who are disadvantaged—especially those being raised in foster care. Jerry is grateful to have been raised, since age 11, by two wonderful “foster” parents who changed his life forever.

In addition to his B.S. degree, Jerry holds a M.S. Ed., Special Education from the University of Kansas and a professional certificate in nonprofit management from Georgetown University. Most recently, Jerry was selected to participate in Stanford University School of Business’ Executive Program for Non Profit Leaders.
