AboutJim
Jim joined the Sigma Chi International Fraternity Headquarters staff as the associate editor of The Magazine of Sigma Chi in June 2008 following a five-year career in sportswriting in the newspaper industry. He particularly enjoys the different journey each issue of The Magazine brings as far as writing about new subjects and meeting different alumni of the Fraternity. One of Jim's greatest accomplishments since joining staff was the redesign of Sigma Chi Preview, the Fraternity's monthly online newsletter.
He grew up in Utica, Ill., and later attended Bradley University in Peoria, Ill., as a member of the Delta Rho Chapter of Sigma Chi. As an undergraduate, Jim attended Horizons in 2001 and two Balfour Leadership Training Workshops. He is an avid sports fan, especially regarding the Chicago Bears and Chicago Cubs, so it makes sense that one of his favorite Sigs is Significant Sig Mike Ditka, PITTSBURGH 1961.
Jim lives in Chicago with his wife, Jenny.
