ABOUT
Meet Jim
Violinist, Composer
Jim was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He moved to Kitchener Ontario when he was 8 years old, after his parents divorced.

jobs and went to various universities before finally earning an Ontario College Diploma in opticianry from Georgian College. He married his best friend Lia, who 2 years later discovered he played the violin and encouraged him to pick it up again. He has taken lessons on and off, but is mostly self
taught. He is the father of three children. He owns his own optical store and lives in Kitchener. He loves to go on adventures with his wife riding a motorcycle and discovering roads and vistas everywhere. His other favourite things are cars, sports (hockey and baseball), and a good book by the fireplace.
