Jim was head of our technical team for 15 years until he died in November 2023. We were all in shock. He was an Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) and Adobe Certified Instructor (ACI) with over 30 years of experience working with graphic design and office productivity software. He had written 10 books for Adobe Press and hundreds of articles on graphic design and electronic publishing. His video training series can be found on Lynda.com and TotalTraining.com. He was a nationally known speaker and presenter who represented Adobe Systems at industry events and seminars nationwide. At 6′ 5″, Big Jim was also a serious cook starting with scrambled eggs at 5 years old. He was experienced in all types of cooking techniques and cuisine and has smoked ribs and pulled pork for various events in northern Illinois. If there is a grill or cooktop nearby, you will probably find Big Jim behind it.
We also benefit greatly from the hard work, consultations, and expertise of his team: Ray Johnson of Core3K who has stepped into his big shoes, Alvaro, Jeff McNear, Kris Coppieters of Rorohiko, and Casey Markee of mediawyse.com.
