After attending Miami-Dade Jr. College and the University of Florida, I worked in the electronics business for several years before returning to school in 2006, receiving an MBA from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. I ran a marketing consulting practice in Atlanta, Georgia for seven years and published two books on marketing before accepting my current position as Vice President of Minelab USA in Las Vegas.

I married the former Jana Lee Eastwood in Cambridge, Vermont February, 2007. Between us we have four children (all grown) and six grandchildren. (Can I really be a grandfather?)"

Roland Parent and I stay in close touch. We were up there last month and went sailing with he and Barbara. When business takes me to South Florida we generally get together for dinner if nothing else.

I am living in Las Vegas, Nevada running the US division of an Australian company that makes metal detectors. Have been here nearly three years and this is our last. My wife hates Nevada and since our lease is up in June of 2009, that will be the time to relocate back east. We purchased a home on Lake Sebago in Maine last year and plan to relocate either to somewhere closer (our company has an office in Virginia) or to Orlando where I have had a standing job offer for several months.

Interesting that this web site is even here. A long time ago but a time I remember with good vibes.

Best regards, Jim
