Throughout his life, Jim had a wonderful sense of adventure. He enjoyed canoeing, scuba diving, snow skiing, and speed bike riding, and he even parachuted with his father once. Jim was a skilled gardener from a young age, and for quite a while, he maintained a beautiful aquarium.

In his early adult life, Jim worked in the up-and-coming tech industry. He was tech-savvy and enjoyed all things electronic. In his early 40s, Jim made a significant career change and became a registered nurse. He worked as an ER hospital nurse for many years and had begun to work as a travel nurse.
