Born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Jim lived and worked in various places in the south before returning and living in his family home. He shortly relocated to Stuart, Florida in 2007. He finished high school in Baton Rouge, receiving the highly coveted recognition of Eagle Scout, an honor and legacy which his son and grandson have achieved.

He was a veteran of the United States Army, serving during the time of the Korean War.
