Meet Jim

Jim was born in Upper Darby, Pa., a blue-collar suburb west of Philadelphia, best known as the birthplace of Saturday Night Live alum Tina Fey. He graduated cum laude from the University of Scranton (Pa.) with a degree in communication. Jim first moved to the DMV in 1997, with stops in Alexandria, Germantown and Rockville. He now lives in the Saybrooke neighborhood of Gaithersburg with his wife, Amy, and their two children.

Jim opened his own small business, Würdsmith Creative, in 2014, after nearly two decades in television having worked for national cable networks such as HGTV and TLC, where he led national marketing campaigns for televisions series like Cake Boss, American Chopper, Say Yes to the Dress, Breaking Amish and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. Previously, Jim worked at local television stations WB50, ABC-7 and NBC4 here in the DC market, during which time he was elected to the Board of Directors for the National Capital-Chesapeake Bay chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences—the association that awards the local Emmys. Today, Jim is a Realtor® with Keller Williams Capital Properties, specializing in the Upcounty Region of Montgomery County.

In 2012, Jim founded The Upper Room PTSD Support Group, two years after he was taken hostage by an eco-terrorist at the former Discovery Channel headquarters in downtown Silver Spring. He credits the Montgomery County SWAT team with saving his life.  Since then, Jim has actively looked for opportunities where he can make the most difference. He’s been a Guest Speaker as part of the Archdiocese of Washington’s Theology on Tap program, as well as the Pax Christi group at St. Rose Parish here in Gaithersburg, and his support group was featured in a news story on ABC7.

In addition to working with veterans and other trauma survivors in his support group, Jim spent five years volunteering as a head baseball coach between both the Montgomery County Little League and UMAC, not just teaching our kids the great game of baseball, but life skills like teamwork, perseverance and sportsmanship.
