During that time he owned and operated two different restaurants and a catering company.  
  Jim’s goal for the Lowry Park residents is to make a positive difference in their lives through the dining experience.
  He loves the mountains and everything there is to experience from them. He also enjoys spending time with his three wonderful children (two daughters and one son).
