Meet Your Neighbor... Jerry Davis

In this episode of Meet Your Neighbor, I sit down with Jerry Davis, a longtime Chicago native whose journey eventually brought him to Arizona and to Westbrook Village.

Jerry shares stories from a remarkable life that includes 53 years of marriage to his wife Donna (who listeners may remember from her own episode), an impressive academic path with degrees in biochemistry and mathematics, a master’s in business, and a 38-year career with Baxter Healthcare. His story reflects dedication, curiosity, and a steady commitment to both family and work.

We talk about Jerry’s Midwest roots, his career in healthcare, his enduring marriage, and what drew him and Donna to Arizona. It’s a thoughtful conversation about life, partnership, and finding the right place to call home—right here in Westbrook Village.

Steve Merila — Host, Meet Your Neighbor
As Realtor Steve, I’ve learned that real estate is about more than houses — it’s about people, stories, and the connections that make a community feel like home. That belief inspired Meet Your Neighbor, a podcast where I sit down with the incredible residents of Westbrook Village to share their journeys, passions, and what brought them here.
Each episode is a genuine, easygoing conversation — like chatting over coffee with a friend — that reminds us how special this community truly is. My goal is simple: to help people connect, feel seen, and celebrate the amazing neighbors who make Westbrook Village one of a kind.
