Hello! My name is Jim, and I come from the beautiful city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Prior to Tepper, I attended Carnegie Mellon's College of Engineering for my undergraduate, then spent five years as a design engineer in surgical robotics. I chose Tepper because of my desire to pivot into consulting and its emphasis on tech. The TCC has been incredibly supportive for me, and I am excited to give back. Outside of school, I love basketball and anything outdoors (most notably hunting and fishing).
