Overview

Jimmy likes to do wood working and has built a sauna and a writer's cabin. Some of his writing deals with woodworking and he's been working on various projects.

Like many creatives, he plays music and devoted a large part of his life to playing music. That is, until he started to go deaf in his early 20's. This led him back to writing.

Luckily, his hearing returned and he now employs his writing skills to songwriting along with writing non-fiction, fiction, and working with wood.
