Jim grew up in Los Angeles, California where he was a graduate of Pacific Shores High School in 1984, before attending college for business. Locally, he worked in plumbing for many years and was a member and past trustee and president of the Uhrichsville Eagles. Jim was a sports enthusiast throughout his life, as a multi-sport athlete in his younger years and evolving into an avid spectator and fan as his health declined. Golf was a favorite pastime for him for much of his life. Jim loved his family dearly and especially treasured the time that he spent with his granddaughters. He was Catholic by faith.
