Since 1997, Jim has worked in various departments (Customer Relations; Charitable Giving; and currently, Culture Services) for the greatest airline on the planet (Southwest, of course!).  He’s had countless FUN experiences on the job, but playing Austin Powers in a Halloween show at Southwest Headquarters really stands out as a favorite.  Sounds funny, but it’s not unusual for Jim to mention that he’s one of the luckiest guys he knows. 

Jim is excited by opportunities to travel and especially enjoys Europe, where a trip to Austria turned into six of his life’s most exciting months.  He enjoys being surrounded by books, coffee, and music so much that he works a night or two each week at a local Barnes & Noble.  Without a doubt, his greatest passion is listening to music (recorded/live).  He has an immeasurable appreciation for great songs, great lyrics, and great musicianship, and he’s one of the biggest Beatles (Yeah, yeah, yeah) fans around.
