Jim is the person you run to for help and guidance (and a cool head) in any situation. He’s a true gentleman and team player who keeps spirits high no matter what the day throws at you. We have remained friends long after we first became colleagues.

Jim was instrumental in getting a very large job off the ground, he worked directly with our people to make this happen. His expertise was valuable and I would not hesitate to work with him again.
