Jim’s roots in MWV land go deep. He’s been working on the company’s lands for more than a quarter of a century, first in land management and later in harvesting research. As a MWV Land Specialist, Jim loves being a part of the process that can transform a tract into a personal paradise. His own house, in fact, is a product of his vision: after years of clearing and burning, the home is now nestled among beautiful live oaks and Spanish moss amid the 27 rural acres he owns. Jim’s volunteered with a number of outdoor groups over the years, including the National Wild Turkey Federation and the Department of Natural Resources’ Take One Make One program.
