Giving Back to the Business Community
Speaking at seminars is one way Jim gives back to his local community. He brings his passion for teaching others how to reach the same digital marketing success as he’s seen time and time again. It’s his way of not only passing on his own knowledge but also the wealth of experience he’s picked up from his close-knit network of business owners.
