Lobbyist by day, actor by night, Jim describes his job at Kelley Cawthorne as “the role of a lifetime.” He’s probably the most well-liked person in the Michigan lobby corps, but don’t tell him we said that. Previously, Jim was an in-house lobbyist for telecom giant, AT&T. He also worked on Michigan Senate Democratic Staff for then-Senate Minority Leader and now-Governor Gretchen Whitmer. He represents clients such as AT&T, DTE Energy, Ford Motor, and Property Management Association of Michigan. When he isn’t acting, he can be found looking for “Green Thunder” at Michigan State University games.
