Where are you from?

I grew up in North Central Ohio and lived in Columbus, Cleveland, and Dayton. My memoir is posted at http://www.webook.com called Patchwork And So Forth.

I am consultant to government and a writer, poet, and painter. My beat is Information Literacy and I am completing a book for Wiley Publishing called Smart Data, Enterprise Performance Optimization Strategy due out in July.

I hike 5 miles a day, paint, and MIXX like a Wildman.
What do you like best about Mixx?

I enjoy debating smart people with points of view that are opposite my own. I find the opposition and I also find a lot of supporters.

I try to mirror my life’s interests with news, travel, entertainment, journalism, writing, and professional blogging.
Advice for new Mixxers?

Dive into a conversation and be prepared to be challenged as well as encouraged. MIXXers don’t like to lose engagement partners.
Your hero(s)?

Former Buckeye’s Coach Woody Hayes, my Dad, Franklin A. George, Aerospace Engineer, my brother, Mr. Etch-a-Sketch—that’s right, Tim George is my brother.

I would like to thank Jim for taking the time and letting us as a community get to know him better. Find Jim on Mixx.com at http://mixx.com/users/YankeeJim
