Interview with Jerry and Jo-Ann Turning from Bacon and Juiceboxes
We had the fantastic opportunity to speak with the powerhouse couple Jerry and Jo-Ann from Bacon and Juiceboxes. The work they do not only to educate but to support the community around us is incredible. Taking their own life experiences to provide information and support to those around them. We discuss the importance of educating those around us about our kids, talk about their parenting journey, and their motivation and dedication is something we can all learn from.
Jerry and Jo-Ann have been married for 25 years. They have two kids Anna, who just graduated from High Point University, and Eric (19 years old). Eric was diagnosed with Autism at 2.5 years old. Jerry started Bacon and Juiceboxes in 2012. Shortly after, Jo-Ann also started sharing on the blog and Facebook page. Jerry wrote and published his novel (Desperate Pursuits) in 2020 and formed his company (Blue Bridge Autism Training) in the same year upon retiring from his police career. Now, Jo-Ann works full time and pours her free time into our non-profit (Special Wants), and Jerry delivers Autism Response Training to police and first responders worldwide while home-schooling Eric.
