Jim founded Good Karma Bikes in July 2009 to serve the needs of homeless and low-wage working people for reliable, safe transportation.  He quickly realized that what was going on was not about bicycles; it was about the Clients and the transformation of their self-esteem.
Jim grew up in Huntington Beach, CA.  It was that particular stretch of Pacific Coast Highway that caused his lifelong love of cycling.  In high school, he took his bicycle apart after almost every ride.  Cleaning and fixing bicycles was as much fun as riding them.
Jim attended college at the University of Southern California, studying engineering.  He received a bachelors, two masters and a Ph. D. degree in Solid State Physics, Optoelectronics.
It was while going oh-for-four in start-ups, that Jim realized he hadn’t done enough to make the world better.  About that time, he saw a homeless man on an unsafe bicycle.  He started wrenching bikes in the park.  It was then that Good Karma Bikes was Born…
