James's Story
I was born and raised in Council Bluffs, IA. I graduated Thomas Jefferson High School in '84 and then attended Creighton University in Omaha, NE (right over the bridge from Council Bluffs). I graduated from Creighton in '89 with a Double Major in Business Management and Computer Science.
I then moved to Des Moines, IA (Norwalk to be exact) in '92 when my family purchased 100 acres of ground with a lake on it and needed to get a business going there. I started booking bands to start with. I was involved in booking the Beach Boys, 38 Special, George Thorogood, KC and the sunshine band, Bret Michaels, Loverboy, SlipKnot about 5 times (still hang out with the guys) and budafest (an all day rock show with 10 to 15 bands).

pened a night club, well "Performing Art Theater", (if you know what I mean), on the beach that does pretty well. It's "Clearwater Beach" and the night club is called "Beach Girls" As you can tell, I live a little different life!!!
As of 2024, I am married and have been with my wife for 15 years. We have 2 children 11yrs old girl and 17 yrs old son (my son is not my biological but the sperm doner bounced when he was born...I adopted him I am 100% dad)
I like to play pool, ride my Harley, play golf, scuba dive in the ocean, fish in the ocean, snow ski, watch movies, video game a little and travel. That's a start, but I'm really open for about anything.
Well, that's about enough eye-opening, jaw-dropping for now.
Take care,
Jim
