Jim attended Wapsie Valley Community Schools and graduated with the class of 1977.  On October 6, 1984, he married Jody Otto at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Klinger. Jim began his career in agriculture at Readlyn Farm Center. He worked in the feed mill and hauled feed for local farmers in the area. After the closing of Readlyn Farm Center, he continued the work he loved at Dunkerton Co-Op Elevator. Jim continued serving in the agricultural industry until he retired within the last few years. When he wasn’t working his day job, he could be found doing handyman chores and fixing up things around the house.
