A Life Built on Curiosity, Reinvention, and the Relentless Pursuit of Staying Young
My name is George Gerald Biggs Jimeno, but everyone calls me Gerald. I was born in Chile and came to the United States at seventeen with an accent, a suitcase, and a determination to build a life filled with opportunity. Fifty years later, I’m still here — still learning, still evolving, still staying young in every way that matters.
StayingYoung.me is the result of a lifetime of curiosity, reinvention, and the belief that youth is not something you lose. It’s something you choose.
From Atari to Silicon Valley: The First Reinvention
My first job in North America was at Atari, right at the dawn of the digital revolution. That experience opened the door to a long and exciting career in technology, where I worked with companies such as:
- Mouse Systems
- Western Digital
- Cirrus Logic
- Eagle Computer
- RasterOps
- Truevision
These weren’t just workplaces — they were the front lines of innovation. I learned from pioneers who shaped the modern world. They taught me that staying young has nothing to do with age and everything to do with curiosity, adaptability, and the courage to reinvent yourself again and again.
A Life in Thirds: Exploration, Application, Legacy
Over time, I’ve come to see life as three powerful phases:
- Exploration
The years when you discover who you are and what you’re capable of.
- Application
The decades when you build, create, work, and contribute.
- Legacy
The phase I’m in now — where you give back, share what you’ve learned, and help others live better, longer, and with purpose.
StayingYoung.me is part of my legacy. It’s where I share the habits, mindset, and lessons that have kept me active, engaged, and optimistic through every chapter of my life.
Reinvention Never Stops
After decades in tech, I shifted into entrepreneurship and ran a remodeling business, learning the value of craftsmanship, patience, and resilience.
Today, I drive for Uber — not because I have to, but because I enjoy staying active, meeting people, and staying connected to the world around me. It keeps me sharp. It keeps me moving. It keeps me young.
Every reinvention has taught me the same truth: Youth is not a number. It’s a mindset.
Why I Created StayingYoung.me
I built this site for people like me — people who want to live with energy, purpose, and joy, no matter their age.
Here, you’ll find:
- Practical longevity habits
- Healthy eating and movement tips
- Mental well‑being strategies
- Lessons from Blue Zones
- Personal stories from my own journey
- Tools to help you stay young in mind, body, and spirit
This isn’t theory. This is lived experience — fifty years of it.
My Mission
To help people live younger, longer, and with more purpose — using real‑life wisdom, not hype.
To show that reinvention is always possible.
To prove that staying young is not about chasing youth… It’s about choosing it.
Younger Tomorrow
I’ve said for years, “I have been lucky all my life.” But the truth is, luck favors the curious, the grateful, and the people who keep moving forward.
If you’re ready to stay young — not just in age, but in spirit — then you’re in the right place.
Younger tomorrow, Gerald
