Jim’s Wall Street career spanned 40 years. In 2004, dismayed by the rash of corporate scandals and growing societal discord, Jim launched a second career as a social entrepreneur focused on ways to strengthen the foundation of shared values in American society. Inspired by his lifelong interest in Western history and lore, Jim coined the phrase “cowboy ethics” and wrote his book distilling the Code of the West into “Ten Principles to Live By.” To date nearly 100,000 copies of the book have been sold.
A summa cum laude graduate of Regis University, Jim is also a past President of the Board of Trustees of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. |
