Jim has been a television cameraman for over half a century. In that time he has worked for each of the legacy networks and cable producers.
In his first book "ATTABOY" he shared with readers his experiences with the famous and unknown in 23 chapters. From the Kennedys to Guns n Roses, KISS and huge tigers, to his brush with porn. He took readers backstage on "The John Edward Show", into prison and work farms and near seduction by the Hollywood diva Bette Davis.
In "CLOSING CREDITS" he continues relating his experiences with performers as varied as Iggy Pop and Judy Collins. Readers can tag along to places like St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands and into an accidentally reopened tunnel in Berlin that might have linked Hitler's bunker to parts of the Nazi "New Germania." He details his experiences working on the "Conan O'Brien" and "Rachael Ray" shows, a massacre in Atlanta and prowling Monument Valley in pre-dawn darkness. There are tales from the "Tonys", "Emmys" and "Grammys." The chapter "Prelude and Triptych" relates his experiences during the 9/11 disaster. There is even a Metropolitan Opera Seduction Tale.
Jim continues to add to his credit lists. Recent shows include the "Housewives of New Jersey Reunion," "Summer House Reunion," The Eagles "Hotel California Anniversary Tour," "2022 Tony Awards," "NBA Allstars," and "South Park 25th Anniversary Special" filmed at majestic Red Rocks in Denver. So, enough teasing already, open the book and enjoy.
