Jim attended Rankin High School where he excelled in sports and was a state champion pole vaulter. Upon graduation in 1971, Jim attended Angelo State University for a short time before transferring to Alice, TX where he worked for Halliburton Services in frac and cement while completing his degree in Chemical Engineering, from Texas A&I University, Kingsville, TX.
Jim had a successful, fulfilling career in the Oil & Gas field where he specialized in Cementing and Advanced Stimulation.

After returning from overseas, Jim worked in both South and West Texas with American Energy Services and finished his career as an oil and gas consultant where he shared his knowledge to assist companies with achieving the best results. Above all else, the most important thing was that Jim loved the Lord and being a Christian.
