A clinical psychologist by training, Jim is always looking for just about any excuse to be out playing in nature. Jim, like his brother Rick, grew up Chiriqui, the mountainous region of Panama, so summitting hidden peaks and exploring jungle valleys is second-nature to him. He has led several of our expeditions, including the Darien Gap and the Camino Real Trek, but he's also very experienced in working for film productions in the jungle.

Jim is a Certified Wilderness Guide with the Professional Association of Wilderness Guides and Instructors.
