Jim, is one of the hardest workers in the biz. He is constantly driving kids to out of state tournaments just about every weekend durring the year. He does this all while maintaining his overnight job, and then finding time for his own family. If a family wishes to spend more than a half a million dollars on a house to come wrestle for him, it speaks volumes. CONGRATS.
