He works(ed) at USG Corporation and owned and operated a residential/commercial remodeling company for nearly ten years.

ee Youth Pheasant Hunt the DNR puts on at Chain-O-Lakes State Park. In the warm weather Jim enjoys Lake Michigan Salmon fishing as well as inland fishing, bow fishing, and working his pointers in the water to keep them in shape for the hunting season. Camping and hiking with the family and dogs is a regular activity as well. He can be found in the woods and on trails with the atv in the off season, and his latest mid-life crisis has he and his wife out on the new Harley on nice days.
Retired to west Tennessee where we can hunt and train dogs on our own place! It’s a sportsman’s paradise! Don’t mind the milder winter here either! Living the dream, enjoying the outdoors and family, anxious to get the grandsons into hunting and fishing if they want to!
Music Jim likes includes a wide variety from classic rock, to country and blues with close friends in SIDESHOW and, Kevin Purcell and the Nightburners.
