Jim started out with a Mac SE/30 and a lot of love for that little machine. It was during those early years using PageMaker, Freehand and Photoshop that he learned the importance of keeping a system in tip-top shape. Now a systems admin (among other things) with more than 20 years of experience under his belt, Jim’s ongoing efforts help keep the Macs of others running smoothly and efficiently.
Based in Huntington Beach, California — a.k.a. “Surf City, U.S.A.” — Jim started like most Mac-folk folk do — as a graphic design artist. As time rolled on, he found himself committing more and more time to creating custom business solutions, which ultimately led him to change gears to become a full-time systems administrator and FileMaker developer.
As his efforts began to focus on servicing Mac OS X systems, Jim saw the need to create a simple, yet effective tool for Mac system administrators that would allow them to quickly address routine maintenance issues. This vision ultimately led to his development of Yasu (Yet another system utility), which has become very popular with both sysadmins, and regular users alike.
When Jim’s not busy with the day gig or his awesome wife & kids, he can either be found working with businesses and non-profit organizations around the Orange County, California area, helping them to solve their business needs, or laying down some old-timey walking blues with whoever calls him up to fill in on bass.
