ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (KQTV)-- St. Joseph native Jay Kerner spent years chasing nearly 500 companies before finally deciding the corporate world wasn’t for him.

Now the owner of Tenderloin Times, Kerner took a very different path. 

Along the way, he built a drive-in theater, co-founded The Regular Joe newspaper, launched the JoeStock Music Festival and even found time to write a few books — just to name a few things.  

KQ2 will update the story.
