Jim's Story
School
Spent most of my School years worrying about things: grades, whether everyone liked me, sports - you name it I was probably worried about it. As a result, I didn't make it a priority to enjoy myself, make friends and just be young. So, if you knew me during those years, my apology for not having spent enough time getting to know you. So, send me a note and let's start over.

College
With the notable exception of having met my wife while in college, I can't say that I enjoyed that time all that much. My father died when I was a freshman at Hopkins, and since he had little or no life insurance, things became very rough quickly. This turned my life into a quick course in growing up fast.

ing and eventually graduated merely a year after my peers. So, while I didn't get to relax and enjoy my college experience, I was able to survive a very, very tough time, meet and marry my wife and start to build a family.
Hello to everyone who knew me back then.

Workplace
Been through a number of career changes over the years, like many folks. Spent time working to put myself through college, worked in research, social work, insurance sales, marketing and the Internet.
On the one hand, I'm a tad envious of people who've stayed in the same place for many, many years. But, I have also enjoyed learning and working with a wide variety of people doing a number of jobs. In the end, what matters to me now is working with people that I like and enjoy and doing some "good" with the work that I do.
Hello to everyone that I've worked with in the past.
