He has also served as a volunteer firefighter with the Big Beaver Borough Volunteer Fire Company.
During his tenure in the House, Jim prioritized a number of important issues, such as public safety, preserving green space, and revitalizing river towns, while gaining extensive experience in transportation and infrastructure. Among his many focuses were first responders and veterans’ issues, consumer protection and utility oversight, and advocacy for rail safety and rural broadband expansion.
Jim served on several committees, including Commerce, Gaming Oversight, Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness, Transportation, and Policy, and was Chairman of Consumer Affairs, Subcommittee on Security and Emergency Response of the Veterans Affairs, and Emergency Preparedness Committee. After nine consecutive terms of proven, principled leadership, he chose not to seek re-election in 2024.
A member of the Board of Directors at the Beaver County Transit Authority, Jim was also named to the Port of Pittsburgh Commission, a board promoting the commercial use and development of the inland waterways in Western Pennsylvania. He currently works as VP of Business Development for M:7 Agency, a marketing and communications firm in Beaver, PA. He proudly shares a daughter, Jamie, and two grandchildren with his wife, Cindy.
Jim’s ability to forge strong working relationships is evidenced by many endorsements from Beaver County officials including Sheriff Tony Guy, Coroner David J. Gabauer, and Commissioner Jack Manning, who is retiring from the position next year.
