Jim has served as a volunteer on a variety of state and local organizations focused on children's issues. Jim is active as a Rotarian with the Rotary Club of Sebastopol Sunrise.

My wife Tina and our two daughters make everything else I do worthwhile. We love gardening, camping, soccer, volleyball, bicycling and just about anything outdoors. Everyone who knows Jim knows he is a golfer and severely addicted to this sport.
