His career began in 1951 at Lincoln Jr High in Mpls. He later went to Richfield H.S., where he taught until 1985. Jim also had a great love of the theatre which he passed on to many of his students. His first shows were classical dramas, however in 1967 his vision expanded to full-scale musicals. In all, he directed, designed and choreographed 20 musicals.

Survived by daughters, Lynn & Lise, grandchildren Andrew, Abigail and Michael, numerous cousins, nieces, nephews & family friend Greg.
