Jim is a humble man. When asked to provide us with a biography, he responded with the following:

A weakly credential man doesn’t embellish. Here ‘tis.

A once wider field of youthful passions has narrowed as I’ve gotten older. Some have slipped loose and are gone entirely, but the zeal for the history of the shooting sports hasn’t shifted. My stuff has now been printed in twenty different periodical and annual titles, but my greatest publishing satisfaction has come from being allowed an annual presence in Gun Digest, whose subtitle “The World’s Greatest Gun Book” is not just an uninspired cliche or a groundless boast.

I’ve always regarded its readers as my peers, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute. My bride Kathy and I live in Lincoln, Nebraska, where I work in the commercial floor covering field, and bowfish - another passion - more than any man should be allowed.”

Thanks, Jim. And we hope you will honor us with your contributions for years to come.
