He earned an undergraduate degree there, as well an his MBA from Clarke University, also in Dubuque. He married his high school sweetheart and returned to Bellevue where he and his wife, Barb, raised three children. After retiring from John Deere in Dubuque, Iowa, Jim utilized much of his time hunting, fishing, and floating on his pontoon with his wife on the Mississippi during lazy summer and fall afternoons. This is where he wrote many of the stories, which grace the pages of this book. He also spent time as a substitute teacher when the ducks weren't flying. Jim's love for the outdoors is shared throughout the pages of this book.
