After graduating from high school, Jim attended Eastern Kentucky University and graduated from Northern Kentucky University in 1976 with a degree in Broadcast Journalism. When Jim was not working as a manager at ACE Cash Express Corporate Offices in Irving, Texas, where he had worked for over 10 years, you would find him reading, listening to music, or watching a movie from his vast collection. Theresa and Jim have three cats. Jim’s favorite was Callie, a five year old calico. Jim once said “I don’t know what I will do if anything ever happens to Callie.” Right now, Callie doesn’t know what to do without her Daddy, and has been looking around the house for him. Fortunately, she was able to visit him while he was in the hospital.
