A largely self-taught player with a relentless passion for the instrument, Jim spent years jamming with top musicians and studying the craft alongside players from the legendary GIT rock-fusion scene. His reputation quickly grew, leading to opportunities that included audition invitations for Ozzy Osbourne and collaborations with notable rock artists such as George Lynch, Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ band, and local band ‘American Heroes’ among many others.
