Graduating with a Business Management degree from the University of Montana, Jim has more than 20 years invested in the banking industry and 15 years as an entrepreneur. Coupled with his knowledge and understanding of working with people, he is poised to assist the Foundation with its fundraising and financial needs and is willing to help wherever he is needed.

Pleased with the hospital’s community involvement, Jim looks forward to being an active representative as a board member. He also looks forward to addressing the strengths of North Valley Hospital during his philanthropic efforts. The hospital stands out as being a small, patient-centered care facility that has the ability to attract top-notch employees and doctors, he said.

Jim is married and has two grown children. He recently moved to the Flathead Valley from Missoula where he was an active volunteer for the Missoula Food Bank and the Five Valley’s Land Trust. He likes being outdoors fishing, biking and hiking.
