Jim left the corporate world at age 40, and sold his company with the goal of contributing 85% of his assets to charitable projects ending suffering (human and non-human) during his lifetime, and the remainder of his estate soon thereafter.
Jim follows the concept of Effective Altruistism, a growing social movement founded on the desire of making the world a better place, using of evidence and reason to find out how to do so, and the audacity to actually try.  The primary focus is on:  Saving Lives; Ending Suffering; and Saving the Planet.
Jim is an Executive Producer of the documentaries Not My Life, Cowspiracy and What The Health.  Jim is a longtime member of YPO/WPO and also a regular attendee at Skoll World Forum, the Women Moving Millions Summit, Nexus Global Youth Summit, and the Animal Rights National Conference.
