Born and raised in South Jersey, our town of North Alabama is privileged to have citizens like Kerry Straub call this home. The son of hard working parents and brothers, Kerry graduated from Rutgers, served his country in the Army before then deciding to apply to the FBI Academy and subsequently becoming an Agent. He retired after 20+ years with the Bureau working some amazing cases during his tenure. Kerry now leads the Huntsville Area Crime Stoppers organization, which encourages citizens to provide any info or tips that could lead to an arrest for any unsolved case(s). Kerry’s transparency and insights are incredible and worth a watch/listen.
