Jim moved to the New Orleans from Pensacola 28 years ago, when he met his husband, Conway.  He has done several different jobs over those years and about a year ago, settled into the petcare industry as a Veterinary Technician.  His love of animals drew him to this field and he now feels like he should have been doing this all his life.  Some of the clients he assists have nicknamed him the “dog whisperer”, due to his ability to calm them when they come into the door.  He is very excited to continue in this field at Wisdom Animal Hospital.  Jim and Conway have always had dogs but after losing their last 2 Schnauzers, their hearts were broken and thought they needed time to heal.  That was until little Luca from ARNO (Animal Rescue of New Orleans) came in for care after being hit by a car and stole their hearts.  Luca became part of their family in July of 2021.
