My name is Jim Love.
I've been in IT and business for over 30 years. I worked my way up, literally from the mail room and I've done every job from mail clerk to CEO.

Some are driven to pursue the extraordinary. Sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose. Sometimes you change the game.

His death diminishes us all. Continue reading →
