Jim worked at Stu’s Music for 19 years as a band repair technician and school service representative before joining Menchey Music in 2013.  He still continues to serve in both those roles. Besides music, his other love is trains.  He is a member of the Eastern Division Train Collectors Association and in his spare time enjoys collecting and restoring antique Lionel toy trains. When he’s not collecting and restoring Lionel trains you will find him fly fishing or polishing up his photography skills.
