Jim grew up in Winchester, Indiana, and graduated from Winchester High School in 1963. After graduation, he pursued a career in plastics engineering, eventually opening a toll and die shop with his partners (Gary Etter and (Paul Saylor)) in Martinsville, Indiana.

He loved being with his family, especially his great-grandkids, but also had a good time riding his Harley, playing golf, and socializing with friends. He was a life-long Indiana University sports fan but enjoyed all Indiana college sports, particularly football and basketball.
