Growing up, Jim had multiple pets in his home and was taught from an early age to treat animals as individuals with compassion and respect. Jim graduated Summa Cum Laude from The College of Mount St. Joseph with a B.A in Religious Studies. He also earned his M.A in Theology from Xavier University, concentrating on social ethics, with particular concern to the human-animal relationship. Having experienced the care of Angel’s Paws with two of his own pets, he followed his calling to honor the sacred connection between humans and animals by joining our team. He and his wife are pet parents to two dogs, a cat, and a tank of Glofish. Jim enjoys music, reading, nature and spending time with his wife and pets.
