The Washington Post called Jim’s first book, The Lone Ranger’s Code of the West – An Action-Packed Adventure in Values and Ethics, “…entertaining and informative.” New York Daily News columnist Stanley Crouch called it, “an attempt to ring the bells of ethics and courage once more.”

Jim's second book, What Do You Stand For? – Stories About Principles That Matter, is currently used in ethics classes by several colleges and universities. Using responses from Mario Cuomo to the Dalai Lama to a cross-section of ordinary citizens, Jim talks about the principles that matter and encourages each of us to live up to our highest aspirations by using a practical, clear-cut code of ethical values.

Jim is a member of the National Advisory Board for the Walter H. Capps Center for the Study of Ethics, Religion and Public Life at the University of California at Santa Barbara.
