Jim: Life with a Smile on

A few years ago, Jim’s brother brought him to Ave Maria to play golf at Panther Run. “I was looking for a small town,” he says, “and the people are awesome. I only golf every couple of months, but I did have a hole-in-one once. They gave me a year’s supply of balls. I told them I lose so many, it would be cheaper to give me a car.” Jim enjoys singing karaoke at the Oil Well Brewery, and he’s a runner. “I’m known as the jogger with a smile on my face,” he says. “A neighbor asked me why I was smiling all the time. I said, because we live in paradise.”
