Jim started his career writing and photographing for Vette, Car Craft and Chevy High Performance magazines. Off-hours, he squandered piles of cash racing, primarily in the SCCA. He then launched the BMW-focused Bimmer as Editor-in-Chief, while also holding down the Tech Editor chair at Sports Car International. Jim was then drafted into PR and Marketing roles with Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, Jaguar Land Rover and ran Communications for Fender Musical Instrument Corporation, thus bringing a unique perspective to reporting. He is also a “recovering” racer and guitarist, dreaming of one day playing with Steely Dan.
