Jim served Virginia Tech as a leader who was known for doing things "the right way." His character helped guide the Hokies athletic department for more than 16 years, 1997-2013. His life was a journey that took him from student-athlete to administrator to visionary. He played for the late-great Joe Paterno at Penn State who he credited and quoted often.
