He has been an avid hunter and student of various gems minerals and fossils since his childhood when he first began to hunt for stones in his native state of Illinois.

Jim also enjoys sharing his passion through writing both creatively and from a practically oriented process perspective. Because of Jims in-depth knowledge he is frequently called upon to present to groups such as rock and mineral clubs geological societies and educational institutions that focus on outdoor and environmental interests. In addition to Jims passion for prospecting and hunting he also likes to perform various lapidary arts with the stones that he finds and he has a small business making and selling custom-polished stones and jewelry pieces. Finally Jim enjoys creating photographic illustrations that are up close and personal for prospecting hunting and lapidary work. Jim was a photographer for his high school and college newspapers and yearbooks where he focused on student activities that created perspectives on campus life. This experience has helped Jim capture unique and compelling photographic images for modern-day gem and mineral prospecting.
