A Texas native, Dr. “Jerry” Argovitz, was born and raised in Borger Texas, which at the time included approximately 20,000 residents including six Jewish families and one of those families was his. His maternal grandparents were Polish immigrants who came to the United States seeking opportunity and a better life. They utilized their work ethics, entrepreneurial spirit, and good-hearted ambition to help others by opening a country mercantile to provide for the local farmers and residents who were struggling during the Depression. Argovitz grew up in the family business but when he wasn’t working in the mercantile, he was facing bullies in the streets on his way home from school which is where he learned how to fight. He trained to fight professionally in the ring and later, out of the ring for his clients going into the NFL. His first-hand experience of discrimination was a benchmark that fueled Argovitz to later become protective of the underdog and was inspired to judge others on their character, not color. He initially pursued a career in precision dentistry, graduating from the University of Houston. Although Argovitz was successful as a dentist both financially and in patient satisfaction, land development was calling his name and was less stressful and required fewer patient emergencies. After being both a dentist and real estate land developer, he hung up his drill for football and became an agent in helping young athletes to realize their dreams. This path greatly impacted the NFL and transformed the lives of its players and the game of football.
