Jim
was born in Girard, Ohio, which is between Warren and Youngstown in Eastern Ohio
near the Pennsylvania border. After graduating from Girard High School in 1948,
he attended Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University) in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for two years. In 1950 he transferred to the Cleveland
Institute of Art from which he graduated in 1953. Following a two year tour in
the army, Jim returned to the Cleveland area and attended Western Reserve
University (now Case-Western Reserve University) for two years, receiving both a
Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Art Education. After graduation he was
hired by the Midview School District as art teacher and remained in the position
for nineteen years. In 1977 he was hired by the Elyria City Schools as Art
Coordinator, a position he held for ten years. He retired in 1987, after
twenty-nine years in public education. Two years later he became an adjunct
professor at Baldwin Wallace College, teaching the Art Education courses. He is
in his twelfth year at B. W. Thus, Jim has been an art educator for the past
forty years.
