Jim’s family settled in rural Boulder County, Colorado in the late 1960s where he attended high school and the University of Colorado Boulder. Family weekends were reserved for hunting, fishing, camping, and trying to get lost on the backroads of Colorado and New Mexico. He has spent a lot of years missing easy shots, tangling fishing lines, and getting bucked off horses he shouldn’t have been on.

Jim permanently moved back to Colorado from Florida in the early 2000s after a 28-year career that included Director of Tennis, Marina & Fitness at ITT Corp and Director of Tennis for the city of Daytona Beach. ITT Development Corp was at the time the largest land developer in Florida. While in Florida Jim spent many days in a single outboard engine boat thirty to fifty miles offshore trolling for striking fish or bottom fishing for grouper and snapper. During this time Jim was a US Coast Guard licensed boat captain and was also a USPTA certified tennis professional for 33 years.

Jim lives and headquarters out of La Veta, Colorado, a small rural ranching town of about 800 permanent residents in Huerfano County, Colorado, that has recently seen an influx of artists, and baby boomer retirees. The town has no traffic lights or nationally franchised businesses. Las Animas is an adjacent county that also boasts some of the best elk hunting in Colorado. La Veta and Huerfano County also boasts several large elk herds and plenty of mule deer. It’s not unusual to have a herd of ten to twenty mule deer outside the office window. The La Veta location allows Jim to easily travel around Colorado and south into New Mexico. New Mexico towns like Santa Fe, Mora, and Taos, Red River Raton, Eagle Nest, are easy drives. Drives to Colorado towns such as Pueblo, Trinidad, Colorado Springs, Alamosa, Salida, and many other towns and cities are just as easy.
