Jim is a quiet individual who has rolled consistently high scores for many years. He was a member of the powerful Kokomo Sport Center team in the 1990’s that set the Kokomo team series record at that time. He has seen a slight decline in recent years as the conditions favor those with more ball speed, but Jim continues to average over 200. Jim has a state team handicap title and city titles to his name as well as three perfect games with one of those coming in the state tournament. He is also one of the few bowlers ever to average over 220 for a season having accomplished that in 2005.
