Jim graduated from Herndon High School in 1965. He then attained a Bachelor of Science degree from Fort Hayes State University in Agriculture where he was a member of the FHSU rodeo team. Jim was united in marriage to Hazel Ruggles on March 27, 1976, in McCook, NE. They settled on the family farm west of Culbertson.

Jim and Hazel would spend many summer Sunday afternoons driving around checking the cows and pastures.
