Jerome TurkFrom being a disobedient teenager and an initial failure in college, to his journey through being a salesclerk, public accounting, law school, government, business, and investment banking, to his unexpected long career as a casino industry CEO and ower, Jerry Turk has had a varied life and career, although some might call it checkered.
