Jim is an OEF/OIF Veteran who served 30 years in the Army and retired as a LTC, and a 25 year Veteran of the Boston Police Dept. Jim has worked patrol, as a bomb technician, in sexual assault investigations, and as an operations supervisor. Jim talks openly about his own struggles, personal and family problems, the challenges of being a single parent, alcohol abuse, and the many friends and coworkers he has lost to suicide. He shares with us about the wake up call he experienced that led him to quit drinking, to focus on being a father, and how he began to start putting the pieces of his life back together. Today Jim speaks about those experiences with other first responders in person and at academies with the hope that the next generation can struggle a little less, and get help a little earlier.
