Jim's Story
Livin the life in Margaritaville {Sunny S. Florida}.
Family:
1 wonderful wife who shares most of my crazy interests but makes them look good
1 amazingly talented multiple instrument playing musician daughter from my first marriage who is my proudest acheivement and joy of my life.
2 strong willed stepsons from my wifes first marriage who's thoughts on life are always interesting.
5 hungry, talented, strong willed cats {yep crazy cat people and animal lovers in general}
Then mother nature brings us hundreds of wild screaming parrots plus assorted Ibises, Pelicans, woodpeckers, Iguanas, Gekos plus Possums {Yek :P}and thats just in our front yard.
Job:
Director of a 200+ bed residential Homeless Recovery Center specializing in Behavioral Health Issues. {Mental Health, Substance Abuse, Domestic Violence, Post Traumatic Stress, etc..}
Professional Affiliations: Association of Gospel Rescue Missions, Broward County and Pompano Beach Chambers of Commerce, FEMA, American Culinary Federation, DOT's Operation Lifesaver, National Coalition to End Homelesness.
Current big home Project: Still rebuilding from the big one {Hurricane Wilma} now focusing on creating a tranquil Pacific Rim...Expand for more
themed back yard complete with waterfalls and orchids.
Love spending time at WDW and US. Theres nothing like 5 or 6 rounds of Tower of Terror or Rock'n Roller coaster to relieve stress.
Love to use my new gourmet kitchen {the cats especially like fresh fish night}
Love to go down to the Ocean which is just down the street to fish or work the metal detector looking for formerly sunkin treasure. {so far just bottle caps but some day...}
Love going for a drive in the everglades especially when a big storm is brewing and the gators are sleeping. By the way I have a great gator story that involves my first fishing experience in Florida, a fish stringer with about 20lbs of large mouth bass tied to a boulder next to my feet and German tourists who thought I was crazy for standing right on the edge of the water. They wanted to take my picture holding up some fish to show family back home of how completely nuts we Americans are. Finally my assurances to them that "the Gators are sleeping, its completely safe, see???"... you probably get where this story is going.
Love my job caring for the needy. If I could just get our politicians in Washington to visit my center for one day.....
