Associate Editor
Jim has called The Beer Connoisseur® home since September 2014. He received his bachelor's degree in Journalism from Kennesaw State University, and when not writing or copy editing for BC, he divides his time between espousing love, humor and profound empathy by riding the rhythmic waves of wordplay, melody, and Ultimate Frisbee.
Post-exercise, he prefers Bell's Best Brown Ale for rehydration, Founders Breakfast Stout for muscle recovery, and is not afraid to wear a denim dress shirt when the need arises.
