Jim Grew Up In DeForest, Wisconsin And Graduated From The University Of Wisconsin With A Bachelor’s Degree In Bacteriology. After College, He Went And Worked As A Hired Hand On A Dairy Farm In The Fort Atkinson Area For About A Year. Dairy Farming Had Always Been His Childhood Dream, So He Went Back To The University For Their Farm And Industry Short Course. From There, He Moved To A Dairy Farm In Northern, Wisconsin, Where The Farm Fields Were Carved Out Of The Great Northwoods. With Good Intentions Of A Life Filled With Hunting And Fishing Being Quickly Quenched By The Long Hours Of Dairy Farming, God Used The Northwoods To Bring Jim To Salvation In Jesus Christ At The Age Of 25. Around The Time Of His Salvation, He Met Becky, His Wife, And They Were Married About Two Years Later. After Another Year Of Working On The Farm, God Called Jim To Ministry So They Sold The Cows And Moved To Watertown, Wisconsin Where Jim Enrolled At Maranatha Baptist Bible College As An Undergrad. Jim Was Soon Persuaded To Pursue A Seminary Degree And He And Becky Packed Up After Only A Year And Moved To Lansdale, Pennsylvania. There They Had Three Children And Jim Graduated From Calvary Baptist Theological Seminary With A Master Of Divinity Degree. They Had Every Intention Of Moving Back To Wisconsin And They Even Did, But Not For Long. God Brought Them Out To Hulett, Wyoming, In April Of 2008 Where Jim Became The Pastor Of First Baptist Church. Where He And His Family Serve.
