History

I attended NCKAVTS electronics department starting my senior year in 1972. In the spring of 1973, I started working part time for Kipers Gamble Store. Then I started Jim's TV, a consumer electronics sales and service store, in Downs in October of 1975.
 

I was married to Ruth (Geering) (Wise) in April of 2001.
 

In November of 2004, I closed Jim's TV, moved to Hays (so I could finally live with my wife) and started working for Tri Central Office Supply where I am currently employed.
 

My current job is to service office equipment in an area about 90 miles diameter of Hays, Including the Downs area.
 

I now have 9 grandchildren by marriage - 6 in Hays, and 3 in Topeka.
 

My wife and I enjoy spoiling our grandchildren as well as traveling.
 

Hobbies include Ham Radio , Radio Controlled Aircraft, Computer building, web design ( see www.agapesbc.org   Photography ( see www.picasaweb.google.com/jimnx0r  ) and bicycling.
