Little is known about Jerry’s life prior to the series, but he reveals that he was distant from both of his parents, who never hugged him as a child. His father was a “man of firm handshakes” while he had a somewhat tense relationship with his mother. He implies that his father had Asperger’s Syndrome since he was a brilliant Cornell math professor who constantly asked people if they had toast. His older sister Joy used to throw rocks at Jerry to try to get him to lift his hands off his thighs to defend himself. Before working at Crane, Poole, and Schmidt, Espenson worked in an undisclosed profession where he had so little contact with other people that he dialed an information number just to hear a person’s voice.
