LinkedIn User
During my time at Tree of Life, I was routinely impressed with Jim. Rarely have I encountered a professional who could tackle the toughest of challenges while always exhibiting enthusiasm and an inclusive management style. Further, Jim frankly always knew the value of hard work and could be counted on to get the job done regardless of ranks or titles. His "servant style" leadership truly inspired those around him.
