Jim is a senior electronic media major who hails from a small town in the heart of New Jersey.

As he idolizes many players, Jim is a fan of sportscasters, studying their every word so he can one day become one himself.
Aside from sports, Jim enjoys fishing, long walks on the beach, camping, watching the sun set, spending quality time with his girlfriend and still making it to church on Sundays.
