Jim attended the Georgia Institute of Technology joining the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity and graduated with a BS in industrial engineering in 1985. He worked for 2 years with McDonald Douglas in Long Beach, CA. Jim returned home to Georgia and became a Civil Servant for the Army. For 5 ½ years he was the Master Planner at Ft. Benning where he met his wife Yvonne Saunders Scott. Through the years Jim's loving demeanor and selfless heart joined with his sharp wit touched everyone that knew him. His avid love of sports was apparent in many ways from his ardent support of the Rockdale Youth Baseball Association, his love of long distance running, and membership in the Atl. track club to his passion for GA Tech football and lifelong support of the Falcons and Braves. It was a rare autumn Saturday that Jim wasn't at a tailgate gathering supporting his beloved yellow jackets. Jim loved travelling to England (he was an avowed Anglophile) Maui and Florida. Particularly to Disney world where he ran many marathons.
