[edit] Character Information

Jerry Russo is the average father. He is stern, protective and can be considered annoying by his children. Unlike his children, he does not have powers. He originally did until his brother Kelbo surpassed him magically. Nonetheless, his children inherited their powers from him. Jerry lives on Waverly Place, a street in downtown Manhattan with his mortal wife Theresa Russo and his children: Alex, Justin, and Max. In a few episodes, he has been known to call his wife, Theresa, old. He owns a sandwich shop called the Waverly Sub Station with her, where his children work and Alex's friend Harper used to work at until her and Alex had a fight and decided it would be better to just stay quit.

Jerry is proud of his magical ancestry and teaches his children about the proper uses of magic in "Wizards Training Class" on Tuesdays and Thursdays; however, his children often disobey his magic rules, and he has to punish them. Jerry also has two nephews born to his older brother Kelbo, Trevor who is 17, and Graeme who is 14.
