Jim grew up in London, Ontario, and received his degrees in Biochemistry and Dentistry from Western. He has practiced in Northern Ontario, Vancouver, and Toronto before selling his last practice to work at the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario for the past two years.

He’s decided to return to seeing patients on a part-time basis since he’s also a professional writer and sports photographer. He’s married and has a son who cannot decide whether to be a documentary filmmaker, lawyer, or helicopter pilot.
