Jim has been an avid outdoorsman for over 35 years living near Kenyon, Minn. He grew up and still lives on the family farm that was first settled by his ancestors over 152 years ago. Jim's little outdoor paradise includes a trout stream with plenty of woodland habitat just steps from his back door. The outdoors became such a passion in Jim’s life that upon leaving college he began a career as an outdoors writer/photographer. Currently, he owns a business producing and marketing calendars that are distributed throughout North America.
