With a history of attaining remarkable results coupled with a humble and selfless, yet competitive leadership approach, Jim’s aim is to position himself as a Chief Operations Officer.
Direct, decisive, and straightforward, Jim is a strategic thinker and results oriented. A composed operator, particularly under the most challenging and impossible circumstances, he is most comfortable in those situations from which others often back away. After success is achieved and doubters become believers, however, he is also quick to credit members of his team rather than himself.
Consistently eager for pioneering adventures and experiences, he has an enviable record of accomplishment, especially in projects that may have previously failed. Jim’s forte is the ability to “read” his environment, evaluate “big picture” objectives, and then develop and execute plans that recognize details and potential obstacles, though remain steadfast to the larger mission.
Explicit in providing direction and feedback to not only subordinates and peers, but the most senior staff members, he prides himself on being a mentor, coach, and developer of others. Throughout his professional career assignments, he has earned the praise and admiration of those who have both known him and worked alongside of him.
