Student
Jim grew up in between two pig farms on the East Coast. One is now a 3000 square foot home subdivision, and the other is soon to be an 18 hole golf course.
He spent several years traveling through out the United States and was then roped into attending college by his brother Paul – four years after he graduated from high school.
He received a bachelor’s degree in English/Journalism from the University of New Hampshire and had hoped to be the next Earnest Hemingway. His mentor, Dan Habib, told him to focus on either writing or photography, he chose photography.
Jim earned his master’s degree in photography with the School of Visual Communication at Ohio University. He is currently living and working in Saudi Arabia.
