He feels his greatest contributions, however, are his service as a curriculum writer and as a classroom instructor, directly impacting children’s lives.
Currently, Gerard is employed by the Brownsville Independent School District and is a fine arts teacher at the elementary level. Gerard is a native of Brownsville, Texas, where he continues to live. As a young boy he always expressed a high interest in creative writing and remembers vividly the day his beloved father came home with a portable typewriter. Luckily his parents encouraged and nurtured that interest. Equally important in his circle of influence was his grandmother Florence Simo-Cortez,. a simple, gentle woman whose soft touch, kind words of wisdom, and gentle smile are always with him.
