Jim is from Massapequa a suburb of Long Island, New York. Jim took more than one path toward his enlightenment. At the age of eighteen he hitchhiked across America and visited Denver, Colorado where he lived and worked for a brief time. Then he further explored the depths of his spirituality when he joined the Unification Church in 1979. However, even a religious organization couldn't satisfy the savery pallette of such an intrepid seeker. Jim sought to expand the breadth of his wisdom through self-discovery and personal journeys of the soul. Coupled with that he also sought academic grounding when he pursued his Bachelors Degree in Liberal Arts at the University of the State of New York and his Masters of Religious Education at the Unification Theological Seminary.

He and his wife, Hong-Yu, born in China, live with their two children in Norwich, Connecticut. He is now pursuing a degree in computer science at  Three Rivers Community College. Click here to view his resume.
