Jerry Pociask

Jerry Pociask grew up in the suburbs of Detroit. His love wanderlust for travel and reconnecting to nature transformed his creative writing with each publication. Jerry's writing gravitates towards magical experiences in the outdoor elements, combined with Native American spirituality, and Celtic lore.

Jerry's first book titled, "Call Me Grandpa," explores reflections on being a father and what it means to become a grandfather.

"Grandma, Me and Tree," expanded these thoughts on Native and Celtic lore beliefs and the defining connections between humans and nature. These two books are fantastic for any new parents or grandparents who enjoy reading to their children.

A Life Coach with over 10,000 hours, Jerry worked with the developmentally disabled and returning Iraq/Viet Nam military veterans. His experience taught him some of the simple things which bring meaning to one’s life. He rekindled his desire to help others see and achieve their own greatness.

His term as Chairman of the Board for the Grand Traverse Boys and Girls Club in northern Michigan allowed him an opportunity to work with local native tribes, fueling his affinity for native spirituality. It was there he was honored with an Ojibwa name which translates to, "He who sees clearly."
