Jim was raised in Woodland, CA and later Orland, CA where he attended school and graduated from Orland High School in 1970. After graduation, he spent the summer in Orland working and then attended Shasta College in Redding, CA for a short time. Jim ended up moving to Wells, NV where he later joined the L.D.S.
