Current Role: Jim is employed with The Inovo Group, an innovation consulting firm in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, which aims to bridge the gap between unmet community needs and emerging technologies that make solutions possible.
He has an insatiable desire for learning about new fields, and as a result, has accumulated a knack for many disciplines, including but not limited to electrical engineering, international studies, behavioral economics, psychology, interpersonal communication, and salsa dancing.
His intercultural experience includes interacting in over 6 languages in more than 20 countries with innumerable people from different cultures/sub-cultures. Whether dancing salsa in Miami, speaking Swahili in Tanzania, or throwing snowballs in Michigan, Jim thrives on keeping people on their toes. The variety of couches, cots, floors and inflatable mattresses on which he has slept over the past 5 years has made him a self-proclaimed international couch surfing expert.
Although Jim has been described as being everywhere at all times, finding him is no easy task. Not to worry, he does randomly appear with an extravagant display of fro-like blonde hair, a bushy blonde beard, and / or brightly colored shirts. Jim blurts random product ideas to friends and is growing an affinity for proper customer service. He is also an avid observer of the human animal behaving in its natural and artificial environments.
