History: Jim was born in Cincinnati but raised in Hebron KY. He had a very stable childhood while going to Goodridge Elementary, and Conner Jr and Sr High schools. That is where he met and started hanging out with Dick Stewart. From the early days of carrying his HUGE Peavy amp and Aria Pro II guitar out of the Pizza + in Union he has been a part of the band. Whichever band Dick decided to play in. Fun Days. Passing the hat for donations, more family than anything else but it was great.

   Right after graduating from High school he decided to join the US Army for a couple of years that stretched into 20. Name a place and he has been there. Germany, Korea, Egypt, Thailand, Brazil, Japan, every country in Europe, China, Greenland, Newfoundland, Philippines, every continent on the globe except Antarctica, anyway you get the picture. After jumping out of too many planes and helicopters, excessive globe trotting, beer drinking, women chasing and site seeing he decided to get back to where he came from, the Cincy area is one of the best kept secrets in the world, and get back with some old friends. Retiring from the military in 2003 he vowed never to work again and lives up to that promise even today.

   Married more than once but currently single, Jim has 2 children that he loves more than anything, Amber 21, and Jimmy 18, that he knows about. Starting college this fall he plans to become a Computer Electrical Engineer at the Northern KY Univ and then not work after that. Being a professional student for about 10 years sounds good. His biggest complaint since changing his lifestyle, I have too many hobbies.
