After selling a successful communications business in 2012, Jim took some time off in search of his next chapter. In 2014 he began volunteering at the Decatur Hope Clinic one day each week. When then Executive Director Teri Hogg decided to leave the clinic in 2015, she asked Jim to consider applying for the Executive Director role. After much prayer and deliberation Jim offered himself for the position and became the Hope Clinic’s fourth Executive Director in July 2015. Jim believes that God planted the seed for this work way back in 1987 when he and his wife Ruth were blessed with a daughter through adoption- a little girl born to a mom who was literally on the doorstep of an abortion clinic, but did not go in. He sees the eternal consequences of that courageous decision in his daughter and the three precious grandchildren she has blessed him with. Jim is a native of northern Adams County and a lifelong member of Zion Friedheim Lutheran Church. He is a Bellmont High School and IPFW graduate, and worked in financial management for several companies before co-founding G3 Technology Partners in 2003. Jim and Ruth are the parents of two grown and married children and have been blessed with six beautiful grandchildren.
