“Jim is a pleasure to work with from the first moment of interaction to the very last. He's exceptionally bright and determined to set the proper stage for a project. Diligence, passion, and creativity guide his management of the daily details while he maintains a continued sense of the larger purpose and brings insight to the daily grind that others might lose while buried deadlines and other challenges. Jim is a true leader and a man of tremendous wisdom. I look forward to every opportunity I have to work with him!”
