Jim, an avid golfer and father of two daughters, resides in Geneva, Illinois with his wife Lisa, and dog Bear. He is an eternal optimist, holding out hope that the Cubs will win another World Series in his lifetime.

"My passion for safety and knowing I could make a difference, through education and awareness, in combating the fact that more 37,000 people die on our roads annually is what drew me to Driving Dynamics. I look forward to adding my dedication and expertise to the collective knowledge of the organization."
