Believe it or not Jim wanted to be a sailor just like grandfather, father, and Uncles were since he was a little boy (dreams do come true!). You would know he served our country once you meet him. He's super dedicated to his clients, does what he says he's going to do, and he's a fun guy. He couldn't come up with any "talents", but if you're lucky enough to be in Jim's company he may tell you a tale, but just be forewarned that it truly may be a tall tale or leading up to a joke and you never know until the end! That is something he definitely has a talent for. Next time you talk to him ask him about some of the places he's been all over the world. Click here to find out where his favorite place is and to read more about Jim.
Jacksonville Armada Football Club
We are thrilled with the new logo and name of NASL soccer team, which was unveiled Tuesday afternoon at the Jacksonville Landing.
The colors were chosen based on the Navy's influence here in Jacksonville and the name in honor of our rich Spanish history.
President of the team Steve Livingstone said “Naming our team Jacksonville Armada FC perfectly reflects our hard-working, passionate, determined and progressive community here on the First Coast. We are greatly looking forward to kicking off play and fully engaging with and growing with everyone in the First Coast community.”
We can't wait!
