Personal History:
Jim was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and has a love of winter activities such as skiing and snowmobiling. His father was an engineer on board the USS Essex, and his mother was a civilian Medical Technologist.
Jim had a troubling early existence, having parents from such diverse lifestyles. His mother was pushing him into a medical career, while his father wanted him to follow in his footsteps. When Jim was 16, his parents divorced. This led to the "wild" time in his life. He left Earth to find adventure among the stars.
What he found was trouble. Landing with a group of smugglers and thieves, he at first enjoyed a run of success as a criminal, looting a few rich private spaceliners. On one occasion though, things went horribly wrong. The liner they attacked was actually a cover for a covert operation for Federation Intelligence. The smuggler vessel, the Royale, was badly damaged, but still managed to escape. Jim wasn't so luckly, having been stunned by the Security personel aboard the disguised liner, the Empire Lady Sandy. Realising that Jim was just a small fish in the operation, F.I. cut him a deal for his testimony. Part of the deal was serving time at a minimum-security rehab center on Pellius IV. It was here that his parents re-entered his life.
His father, using his influence, got him a posting as a crewman aboard the Starfleet cutter Helena Bonham Carter. His parents felt that this assignment would provide him with the discipline and direction he needed. It worked. He began the next phase of his life. Now 23, he served as an enlisted man aboard the Carter for two years. From there, he transferred to the USS Tripoli where he served in Security and as a Field Medic. It was for outstanding service on an away mission to Borallius III that earned him a berth at the Academy. He took a disruptor bolt intended for the First Officer. This greatly impressed the C.O., Captain Ramsey. He sponsered him to Starfleet Academy.
Now a full-fledged Academy cadet, his suffed the usual rigors of academy life. He developed an interest in flying and racing antique autos. He also took a real interest in his physical development as well as his mental development. He began an ernest exercise and fitness program. He did a season with the precision flying team Nova Squad.
Jim graduated from the Academy at age 30. Upon his graduation, he joined the Starfleet Marine Corps. After he completed his training, he re-joined the regular fleet. He was posted to the USS Ranger in Security and as a Field Medic once again. It was at this time that he realized that both Federation and Starfleet Intelligence had been keeping him under a watchful eye. He was recruited to work in Starfleet Intelligence under the command of Admiral Rick Styles aboard the USS Wyld Foxx NCC-2222-A.
On Stardate 49902.03, he received a promotion to Lieutenant (j.g.). With continuing excellent perfomance of his duties, he was promoted to full Lieutenant and assigned as the Second Officer of the Wyld Foxx on Stardate 49903.09. For his continued service to the 'Foxx, Fleet Admiral Rick Styles promoted him to Lieutenant Commander on Stardate 49905.25. Not long after this promotion, he began a new posting as Operations Manager of the Sovereign-class starship USS Whiteknight, NCC-412282. He served aboard the 'Knight for six months, then was offered a posting aboard a newer Sovereign-class vessel, USS Patriot, NCC-84777 under the command of Captain Kaylan Zen.
He opted for this assignment due to the reputation of Captain Zen, plus the chance to be aboard a ship fresh out of Spacedock. His posting was Operations Manager and as the Patriot's Second Officer.
