Jim was born on April 13, 1963. In 1985, at the age of 22, Jim lost his left leg below the knee in a motorcycle accident. He recovered, and went on to run the 1989 Ironman Hawaii in 10 hours, 42 minutes.

Then, in 1993, during the Orange County Ironman, Jim was struck by a van and collided with a signpost, rendering him a quadriplegic.

Again, Jim recovered, and now works as a motivational speaker and author.
