SPOTLIGHTING JON GERRY

Pop-A-Lock’s Employee of the Month

While some people are content to let work linger unfinished, others are restless until they’re sure the job is done right. Over his past nine months as a car door unlocking technician here at Pop-A-Lock, Jon Gerry has proven that he falls into the latter category. Jon initially became a car door unlocking technician because he was drawn to the interesting nature of the work. It was strange for him to think that he would be paid to break into people’s cars. He says the unique challenges that come with the job on a daily basis are what make the work exciting.

He actually ran his own computer repair business out of his home for 20 years, but he still enjoys working on computers in his free time today.

When Jon isn’t hard at work, he spends his time fixing and building computers.

Thank you for all your hard work, Jon!
