As the former president of a high-volume distribution facility for a Fortune 200 company, Jim was forced into an early retirement due to retinitis pigmentosa, a genetic degenerative disease that leads to blindness.

He turned to Leader Dogs for the Blind, who matched him with a dog and trained him to experience the world in an entirely new way.
