Jeremiah “Jerry” Davis is a retired intelligence officer who enjoyed a 30-year career with the National Security Agency. Prior to NSA, Jerry served almost 7 years in the U.S. Army Security Agency (ASA).. He grew up in Brooklyn and Long Island, New York, and graduated from Brooklyn Preparatory School. He is a two-time graduate of the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California, and earned a B.S. from the University of Maryland and an M.A. in Russian and East European Studies from George Washington University.
Although he authored countless intelligence reports over the years at NSA, he was a late bloomer to openly published works. His first effort was a compilation of the writings of his late daughter, Heather Davis Johnson, who kept a journal during her five-year battle with cancer. She intended to publish that journal in book form when she was cancer-free, but she passed away before she could do so. Jerry fulfilled her wish to share her journey with others and published The Starfish Chronicles: A Cancer Warrior’s Memoir in 2018. His latest effort, Snow Mountain Misfits: Cold War Tales of the Super Secret Army Security Agency was published in October 2020 and can be characterized as two parts M*A*S*H, one part “Animal House,” and a dash of Catch-22. A sequel is in the works.
Jerry resides in coastal Delaware with his wife Dorothy.
