Jim has been practicing massage therapy since 1992. He developed a love for teaching during massage school and in 1995 began teaching at the Pennsylvania Institute of Massage Therapy. He has co-owned the Academy of Massage Therapy and Bodyworks, in Pottstown, Pennsylvania since 2006 and has taught and graduated hundreds of massage therapy students.
During his time teaching, Jim noticed that many students were leaving the massage therapy field due to injury and burn out. In 2015, with a team of massage therapists, he created Forearm Fusion, which has helped therapists save their hands and prolong their careers.
Jim resides in Lansdale, Pennsylvania where he has owned Rapunzel’s Salon and Spa since 1999. When he’s not doing massage or teaching he enjoys spending time outdoors and with his son, Ewan.
