Jerry B. Bowden is an author, speaker, singer, and tech founder who overcame poverty, abuse, and addiction, to experience his days of glory as a professional singer, sharing the stage with the Temptations.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Jerry Bowden joined the U.S Army in 1966, at age 17, to escape poverty, violence, and despair. After serving in South Korea and surviving combat in Vietnam, he was discharged from military service in 1971.

He was the first in his family to achieve higher education, and graduated with a Master's Degree from the University of Colorado. He went on to become one of the few black professional municipal planners in the West Coast.

Jerry started his musical singing career while residing in Northern California. His band quickly rose in popularity and opened for musical legends like B.B. King, and the Temptations and other blues notables.

His service in Vietnam caused health complications later in life, and he unfortunately contracted diabetic retinopathy, which diminished his vision, resulting in disability retirement in 2011 from city government.

Jerry and his wife, Michelle Calloway Bowden, started a Tech Company called Revealio in 2016, which focused on augmented reality interactive marketing experiences. Now the company offers robust custom software development and media solutions to small and medium sized businesses, with a special focus on virtual reality workspaces for remote online teams. It is like Zoom in the Metaverse.

Jerry is the President of Revealio - Software and Media Solutions, and the co-founder of the non-profit, Tech With Heart Foundation, which focuses on empowering minority student interns and entrepreneurs the ability to embrace technology and strategies that will keep them competitive in live and career.
