Jim flirted with running in high school at North Shore Regional Vocational High School in Beverly, MA with the highlight of finishing in the top 20 in the State Vocational Cross Country meet in 1991. His part time running became full time as a distance harrier for the Salem State College under Tom Derderian and Steve Czarnecki. He was honored with the following: MASCAC Cross Country All Conference Team 1993-95, MASCAC Cross Country Champion, hosted by Fitchburg State in 1995, and MASCAC Performer of the Meet in 1996, hosted by Westfield State.
Jim proceeded to join the Greater Boston Track Club where he was introduced to post collegiate racing and competition. Jim joined CMS in December 2003 imediately getting involved with snowshoe racing and was named WMAC rookie of the year (winter 2003-04). Since then, Jim can be found racing any given weekend in a trail, cross-country, mountain, road, or track event to keep things interesting. Jim is often meeting friends for runs and seeks to get on trails as often as possible on the weekends.
