SMU Stories: Jerad Romo
This week on SMU Stories we sit down with Jerad Romo, former Mustang quarterback and proud member of the class of 2006. Jerad currently serves as Vice President of Sales for Sewell Automotive Companies, where he leads with a commitment to excellence and relationship-driven growth. He reflects on his time leading the SMU football team, sharing how lessons from the field—discipline, resilience, and accountability—shape the way he approaches everything that comes after. His pride in representing SMU hasn’t faded, and that experience continues to anchor him both personally and professionally.
After football, Jerad’s path carried him through publishing, the automotive industry, and leadership roles that kept him closely tied to the SMU community. He speaks about the importance of relationships built at the university and how they open doors long after graduation. For Jerad, success is about more than career milestones—it’s about staying grounded, giving back, and carrying the Mustang spirit forward in every venture. Watch now to hear about his journey from SMU to Sewell.
