And since graduating from the Naval Academy in 1986, serving as a naval officer, and then launching a career in the financial services industry, Jim has been passionate about the value of teaming with others to achieve common goals and build strong relationships.
Jim joined Penn Mutual in 2011 as Managing Partner of its Philadelphia agency, 1847Financial, based in Conshohocken, PA. He has since received recognition for several outstanding achievements, including the GAMA International Management Award and the prestigious Penn Mutual Chairman’s Award. Under Jim’s leadership, 1847Financial is continually recognized as One of the Best Places to Work in PA by the Central Penn Business Journal.

He is also Chair of The American College Center for Veterans Affairs, which partners with Penn Mutual to award scholarships to military veterans and their spouses interested in pursuing a career in the insurance and financial services industry.
Jim graduated in 1986 from the United States Naval Academy with a Bachelor of Science in Physical Science. After serving 5 years as a commissioned officer in the U.S. Navy, Jim joined CFG in Newtown Square, PA, where he was recognized as Associate Planner of the Year in 1990 and 1991, and appointed Sales Manager in 1992.
