Biografia
Terry, born and raised in Cinnaminson, New Jersey, later relocated to Phoenix, Arizona, where he graduated from Brophy College Preparatory.
In 1992, he moved to Los Angeles and quickly secured a PA role on Last Action Hero (1993), finding a mentor in Executive Producer Robert E. Relyea. When Relyea became President of Production for MGM/UA in 1993, Terry joined him as his Executive Assistant. Over the next five years, working alongside Relyea, Terry helped oversee the production of more than forty MGM/UA films, including GoldenEye (1995), Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), Get Shorty (1995), The Birdcage (1996), and Ronin (1998).
After selling his first screenplay, No Tomorrow (1999), in 1997, Terry left MGM/UA to focus on writing and directing. Independent production company PM Entertainment produced No Tomorrow, along with Terry's screenplays Y2K (1999) and The Stray (2000), which set the stage for him to direct his next screenplay, The Chaos Factor (2000).
Following the HBO world premiere of The Chaos Factor, Terry directed additional films for PM Entertainment, Cinetel Films, and Reel One Entertainment, including The Elite (2001), Con Express (2002), Storm Watch (2002), Global Effect (2002), Descent (2005), and Earthstorm (2006) for Syfy.
In 2006, Terry expanded into television, directing over 100 hours of prime-time dramas Desire (2006) and Wicked Wicked Games (2006) for Fox and MyNetworkTV.
Between 2008 and 2010, Terry traveled across Turkey and Peru to direct The Jack Hunter Trilogy (2009) and its follow-up miniseries El Dorado (2010).
In 2013, Terry directed the critically acclaimed family drama Love Finds You in Sugarcreek (2014) for UpTv, which achieved the network's highest ratings ever with 2.2 million unique viewers during its 2014 premiere. The film went on to win Movieguide's 2015 Epiphany Award for Best TV Movie.
From 2014 to 2015, Terry continued the series by directing Love Finds You in Charm (2015) and Love Finds You in Valentine (2016).
