Also in Chicago, Jim has served as the Production Manager for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's WELCOME YULE and as the resident Production Manager at Next Theatre Company. Prior to moving to Chicago in 2006, Jim resided in St. Louis, where he was the Production Manager for St. Louis Shakespeare and the Arts Center Manager for the St. Louis Conservatory and Schools for the Arts. Before any of that, Jim toured the country with several national tours, trade shows and industrials and worked on many shows both Off and On Broadway.
