After growing up in Camp Hill, PA, Jim served in the US Coast Guard, and was transferred to Maine in 1977, where he ultimately retired after 25 years of active & reserve service. Jim studied Forestry & Wildlife and also earned an MBA at the University of Maine, where he met his wife, Kim. Jim has spent the last 28 years at Hannaford, where he developed and runs the Guiding Stars nutrition rating program. Jim & Kim moved to Little Sebago in 1992, and live on the middle lake near the lower narrows, at the end of Many Oaks Lane off of the Smith Road.
One of their neighbors, Dave Hopkins, had served as the long-term damkeeper, and got them interested in joining the board for LSLA. Jim served as Secretary for a few years, and after he left the board, Kim served as President for a number of terms, focusing on duck itch, watershed surveys, and the early days of the milfoil crisis.Jim & Kim have two kids in the Windham schools, where Kim also teaches at WMS. They enjoy being active in community service, through various school groups, church activities, community theater, and of course at LSLA.
Having spent the last 20 years on Little Sebago, they still wake up every morning and count their blessings while marveling at the natural beauty, the solitude, and endless days of fun spent on Little Sebago in every season. Jim is very pleased to rejoin such a professional, hard-working Board of Directors, and is excited to be working again, almost 20 years later with great leaders like Pam, Scott, Rod, Bruce, Sharon and the others.
