A business owner by trade, he moved to Hohenwald in 1995 bringing his business with him, Mobile Home Safety Products.   After moving to Hohenwald his business changed names to Oliver Technologies. The company continues to operate in Hohenwald, TN. He was a very compassionate person, his family recalled many times where he would pick up strangers and hitchikers and bring them home, helping to get them back on their feet. They recalled a time where a homeless man was trying to get home out west and had no means to do so, Jim brought him home, gave him a job for a few weeks to earn some money and then arranged for him to get home. He lived his life always trying to help somebody else. He was an avid hunter and loved riding motorcycles. But more than anything he loved his family and his friends. He had many special friends, more than the family could count or try to list.
