FUN FACTS About Jim

He enjoys fishing for striped bass off of Block Island, RI. (He claims nothing tastes better than fresh fish caught yourself).
When not fishing, he can be found on the beach every weekend in the summer.
He’s a diehard Boston sports fan. It’s on his bucket list to visit every MLB stadium.
He loves traveling and trying local delicacies. His favorite country so far is Malta.

“I view investing as a true partnership and not a business transaction. Because of that, I spend the majority of my time on the road meeting entrepreneurs in-person and discussing how Volition can be a value-add partner. All startups have their unique challenges that I strive to understand and come up with tailored solutions to ensure Founders can realize their ambitions.”
